lyrics

will your wide awake eyes not foresee
that a flame could stir
to shatter your synaptic state
enraptured by the shadow play
your iris starts to turn

wrap your hand in fire
that lures your torch to wane
fractured, falling
you doubt your aim
and burn my name

(there's a center line divining...)

nihilist now a debtor
breathe your fortune in
with ties so tellingly hung above your head
like smoke skewing your image
again and again and again as

you wrap your hand in fire
that pulls your course to stray
fractured, falling
you doubt your aim
and burn my name

there's a center line divining your intention
did your sense deny, or by name fail to mention
that magician in your draw
an apparition laid across your burning bridges
a silent witness in your cast, conspiring
it is known
a specter smiling in the front row
and pulling from its throat
the key to catch your gallows

you wrapped your hand in fire
that tore your ghost away
fractured, falling
you doubt your aim
and turn to flame
