Ghosts In the Fire

There’s a rapid storm inside me There’s a sea that I’m dying to see There’s room for gloom tonight I need delight with all my might I see ghosts in the fire You’re my only desire Our abundant love never expires We build our adoration empires Continuous fire and beautiful-than-ever rain Goes down the wondrous, wretched drain Leaves me feeling awfully speechless Left me feeling breathless more or less In the flames, I saw ghosts and spirits I’m not one to blame I’m not playing a game My flames are untamed I have a couple of my wits They crumble bits by bits Like it even matters to you You put me through so much It’s the horrible things you do Yet, I still yearn for your touch You scorched me aflame, Ghosts in the frivolous fire Life's not a foolish, little game, My past precious desire I’m regretful I’m fretful It’s oh so delightful… It’s as if I’m grateful That I found you, Lost in the flames of red and blue
