Fires

This late we start escaping
My mind a mess I’m making
This space a silent stalemate
Watch me waste my life away.
This late we start escaping
Compliantly complacent
All my years and yesterdays
Watch me say that I believe —
I never set fires that last in you
I never shone lights that lead you through
I never set fires that last in you
Do you feel the same?
I feel the same.
We start
Make up the time
Make it back home
Made up this mind that’s not my own
I’ll never leave here
Believe me.
