Set my heart on fire

Set my heart on fire

Dead  my wooden life, it’s a dried forest, a tree inside
Send me your fire, here is no light, I live in my marsh
My tears are my dead ocean, pull me out of this life

Help me
The way
Find that
Your life

I am burned out
You destroyed…
… killed my life

Put my ashes
Into your urn

Someone
Loved
Only you
