love and reason
At first we could barely keep our hands off each other
But time is a slow venom
That causes romance to atrophy
Now we can barely stand to touch each other
I live a secret life
Like a fire chief
Who moonlights as an arsonist
Fiery desires replace complacent kisses
You burn in my selfish flames
But refuse to admit we’ve grown apart
Like Siamese twins
Who deny they’ve been separated
As I walk by the charred remains
Of a once vibrant romance
I see you desperately trying
To capture all the scattered ashes
As they blow in the wind
In a moment of clarity
I realize why love and reason
Are enemies
At first we could barely keep our hands off each other
But time is a slow venom
That causes romance to atrophy
Now we can barely stand to touch each other
I live a secret life
Like a fire chief
Who moonlights as an arsonist
Fiery desires replace complacent kisses
You burn in my selfish flames
But refuse to admit we’ve grown apart
Like Siamese twins
Who deny they’ve been separated
As I walk by the charred remains
Of a once vibrant romance
I see you desperately trying
To capture all the scattered ashes
As they blow in the wind
In a moment of clarity
I realize why love and reason
Are enemies
