There’s an intoxication that never lasts
It’s always fire in the beginning
But ash in the end
It’s almost always this way
I’ve tried to figure it out
Tried to pinpoint the moment
Tried to calculate the exact moment to lower the flame before the ash comes
But the fire is intense
And we get lost in it
And neither of us knows when to pull back
And in the end both sides are burnt
And all that’s left before us is a pile of ash
The ash that is now us
The ash that once was a beautiful flame
And it almost always happens this way
Two souls burnt out before they ever even had the chance to really see one another
