Lyrics
Firelight on the shape of loss and hurt and dread
Reflecting on the impact of pain, loss, and fear in the glow of a fire.
Keeping with the shadow-talk until the coals are dead.
Engaging in secretive conversations until the embers fade away.
Sap the joy like syrup.
Draining happiness metaphorically, akin to extracting syrup from a tree.
Tap the sapling tree.
Extracting from a young tree, symbolizing potential purity.
Hoping there is substance to keep your motives clean.
Hoping for genuine substance to maintain pure motives.
Where are your promises now?
Raising questions about unfulfilled promises.
Actions you can’t disavow.
Highlighting actions that cannot be denied or disowned.
Hold the candle vigil for years that can’t be changed.
Holding a prolonged candlelight vigil for irrevocable past years.
Making strong intention to relive all their pain.
Expressing a determined intention to relive and confront pain.
Dredge the river waters to watch the bodies rise.
Metaphorically dredging the river to confront buried traumas.
Set the funeral pyres for loves now long despised.
Symbolizing the burning of funeral pyres for past, despised loves.
All of your excuses don’t afford a good reason.
Rejecting excuses that lack valid justifications.
Thus comes the collapse of this smokescreen season.
Anticipating the downfall of deceptive actions in this season of deception.
There's a line I know I can see it.
Acknowledging the presence of a discernible line or boundary.
It once fed me lies, but I no longer eat them.
No longer accepting lies that were once believed.
Sending me signs but I refuse to read them,
Ignoring signs despite being aware of them.
Bringing the collapse of this smokescreen season.
Predicting the collapse of the deceptive season.
Where are your promises now?
Reiterating the inquiry about unfulfilled promises.
