"High Fire" lyrics

"High Fire"

I'm burning my clothes in the place that I saw you fall down
I can tell you you're right when it's wrong and we just can't change it
I look to the place of our last embrace of the morning
Maybe I felt all the things that I wanted to believe in

He was defined by the momentary lapse of emotion
A smothering sight in that high fire light of the evening
Remember we tried to forgive but there was nothing to discover
Well maybe there's a darkness following me behind

There is a silence
That I commandeer
There is a space
A space when you disappear
There is a distance
And a thin veneer
There is a space
A space that I commandeer

And I'm still looking for you I keep calling back through to the other side
I thought that I saw you yesterday but my eyes lied
Well you shone a light in the dark but it felt like a warning
So I look to the place of our last embrace of the morning

There is a silence
And I commandeer
There is a space
A space when you disappear
There is a distance
And a thin veneer
There is a space
A space that I commandeer
