Refrain From Fire

By Chloe Charles

On Break the Balance

Seven years of rain and ice and snow

I gave you my heart but you ran away to Rome

We hid our lives behind the covers

The story thickens and the plot begins to grow

Say it ain't so

Pictures of dry land, a heat you did not know

Fire in our skin, water to warm to cool

We set aside our lives behind the covers

The story it thickens and the plot begins to grow

Refrain from fire

Refrain from fire

I tried to stay far from the heat

The burning flames took over me

And now the fire's in my soul

It whispers sparks up through my throat

I choke on coals that burn my tongue

And taste the memories of what I've done

An ember burns right through my chest

How can I live in such unrest
