prey for nothing - lost to the flame lyrics

cold 2011, in the chill of the middle of march
like a disaster waiting to happen, barely holding its charge
a blazing flame had ignited, revealing a hint of a grin
disguised as a dying ember, beguiling me into a gin

the ember burns, she hungers for a source of fuel
her power grows quickly, she’s hopping like a fool onto the floor
then she expands to every wall
with scorching steps, her dreadful grace consumes it all

[chorus:]
a mournful morning reduced my life to dust
counting mеmories to the last
stories, fabrics, papеrs, pictures, moments caught in a frame
all i was defined by + all i lost to the flame

i deserve this rude awakening, for letting down my guard
to see my home collapsing, a burning house of cards
a fire i thought that had died, a mistress that dances in awe
the non+metaphorical bash to the face that is my broken jaw

i see 30 years swirling down the drain
notebooks i’ve written as a child, poems i’ve written as a man

[chorus:]
you stop at nothing, impossible to quench
so hard to k!ll you, you sot belligerent wench
playtime is over with this blistering deadly dame
all i was defined by + all is lost to the flame
as i sit in ashes, my hands are searching to find
something i could hold on ot, a little peace of mind
nothing lies beneath this blackened veil of cinder
losing all i’m defined by through the gap between my fingers

- prey for nothing lyrics
