Story Behind the Song
recorded live at a friend's apartment.
my dear, if you're going to make the sacrifice, willing or unwilling, better a blistering flame than smoking embers. BURN.
Lyrics
don't look too close, you're gonna see
my spiritual ruin and bankruptcy
it's there in my eyes, here in my thoughts
the pauper, the pagan searching for gods
the altar's so high
so i
could crawl into the airless shadow
when your back's turned
slip up the side
don't cry
when rough stone scrapes the soft skin
it's the lesson
i can't seem to learn
burn darling, burn
if you ask me i'd be tempted to lie
sing you to sleep with a sweet lullaby
and i'll say whatever you want to hear
the siren, seductress soon to disappear
the altar's so high
so i
could crawl into the airless shadow
when your back's turned
slip up the side
don't cry
when rough stone scrapes the soft skin
it's the lesson
i can't seem to learn
burn darling, burn
i've got a candle for you to light with your flaming fingers
i've got a dead soul you could ignite with your heated hands
send up the ashes, send up the incense but don't forget
the funeral prayer
burn darling, burn
