I've never seen you clear before I've never heard you cry My blinded heart has washed ashore My innocence's gone dry And I wish I had more patience There are things I can't reverse I don't know why you were so threatened By the entire universe You were on fire Tainted in the sun You ran against the raging wind Decadent and drunken with desire Fooling the love of everyone Your reverence in flames Your eyes were golden and awake You were on fire No one's ever saved you You only saw him bleed And his sorrow misbehaved you To avenge and not to plead But out here, there is no other Who has seen you broken down Bare and blameless for your lover Bold and fearless for the crowd You were on fire Tainted in the sun You ran against the raging wind Decadent and drunken with desire Fooling the love of everyone Your reverence in flames Your eyes were golden and awake You were on fire You were on fire Fooling the love of everyone Your reverence in flames Your eyes were golden and awake You were on fire
