Cinder

Lend me your ears for
A whispery cinder
And I lay on your lap how
I left love limber
A drip from a kiss that was
Sucked from a lover
With a swish and a spit now
Condemned to the gutter
Well I shook and I shook
'Til it splintered the bone
It was held in the notion
All sand once was stone
It split open now
It's all pouring out
It's there for the taking
Just gather it up
In your apron
So one day you find
Yourself inside an oven
Wicked and worn from
The strangers I'd covet
Your karma has come
Cause your promise was rotten
So settle your debts for the heart
You've discarded
Well I burn through every penny
I saved
And I cold-cocked that sucker
Right down in his grave
It split open now
It's all pouring out
It's there for the taking
Just gather it up
In your apron
So lend me your ears for
A whispery cinder
And my breath will bring
That spark to an ember
And I'll fan and I'll fan
'Til it builds to a fire
And leave you with nothing
But the hell I've inspired
