So what if I set fire to everything
To watch it burn, a supernova spurned and
What have I got if not this, who have I become
If not flesh and blood and god and man
Of spirits, I've known a few, to hide in bottles and
Fill the room, to whisper I love you on cool breath
That raises the hair on the nape of your neck
And still you underestimate me, call me lately
To say I'm anything but a great thing, but even I
Know how to dream, even I know how
To make you scream, I've only ever lived like this
A firestorm of passion beneath
The ocean's tempest surface
Crashing like the waves against your lips
Cresting like the tides along your thighs
I have come to erode your preconceived notions
Of what it takes to keep you coming
Closer, I am a notice of foreclosure
Taped to e'ery displeasurable thought you've known
So what if I set fire to everything, I know
How you'd love to burn with me
How you dream of walking through the flames
Unscarred and yet forever changed
All you need is the beauty dormant in
That ever-present heart of yours, the wide-eyed wonder
Borne of that forever seeking mind of yours
And I'll supply the fuel for life, the dreams
That set you free from strife, I've only ever
Loved like this, just a man who knew how to lie
As a god between your legs, a man
That left you tasting heaven on your lips.
