You built a city in my head

Then there were candles

And a phoenix burned my bed

These are subwords

These are air

There's one boy

In one house

In one place

At all times

And green eyes

I got no more

Who are you for?

I got no more

What is this?

I shouldn't be smoking

This last cigarette

I feel sick

Now there are words in my head

You took my house

Burned it inside out

Kneel in my ashes

Kneading them

There's one boy

In one house

In one place

At all times

And green eyes

I got no more

Who are you for?

I got no more

What is this?

And now you're leaving again, no

Temper and tempest

To knock at the moon

And the stars come out at night

What's that beyond the floor?

You were left screaming

My hands are in your hair

You're on the deep with the stars(?)

You built a city in my head

Where are your candles?

(...can see my...)

And a phoenix that was you in my bed

These are subwords

These are air

(Turning my body around)

There's one boy

In one house

In one place

At all times

(There's one boy)

And green eyes

I got no more

Who are you for?

I got no more

What is this?

Smoke falls to the ceiling

It begins

There's a man dancing at me

He's making circles

So I will tell you now

(I wear your clothes)

I wear your clothes like armour

(I love your face)

I love your face like God

So you're in love and I'm indebted always

Green eyes

And now you're leaving again

No...
