The fire blazes my skin anew.
Secrets abruptly burn to ash.
A memory inescapable, now set ablaze.
Unable to lie any more.
Secrets abruptly burn to ash.
I call out to a sweet cooling.
Unable to lie any more.
The trial of my scorching bones quiver.
I call out to a sweet cooling.
A memory inescapable, now set ablaze.
The trial of my scorching bones quiver.
The fire blazes my skin anew.
