the sky is on fire
the sky is on fire
and it litters your face with ash
dancing freckles across your cheeks.
the sky is on fire
and we are the only two left.
what does that say for the rest of them?
we are the end,
what does that say about the beginning?
the sky is on fire
and so is my skin
and my heart
and here i am thinking that love can do
worse things than kill you.
the sky is on fire
and here you are looking at me
like come hell or high water
i am the only one that can save you.
