Silent and on Fire

This was originally intended to be track 5 on “Novella Minor.” Somehow, “Take” ended up getting the vote. Personally, I’d rather this one was there, but whatever.

Silent and on Fire

I bent down to pick up clouds and look for you. Felt you cry out loud, saw where you fell, so I cried too. You were naked, silent, and on fire. I sent out when I found out you’d cut me too. I hope you come around and spit me out, just to look at you. You were so fragile, silent, and on fire. I’ve been waiting, silent and on fire. You’ve got to leave somehow before it brings you down. You’ve got to leave somehow before they all f ind out. You’ve got to leave somehow before it burns you out. You’ve got to leave somehow before you lose yourself. You were naked, silent, and on fire. I’ve been waiting, silent, and on fire.
