Over the Flame

Fortune fades like a river

Amazing lines of the oldest design

If I'm open I'll be shining light golden

Maybe I don't know where I am going

I like anything moving

Of course in the end I begin again

I will hold my hand high over the flame

Over the flame

When I return to nothing

A garden grows all around me

All the life I've been given

Maybe I don't know where I'm going

I'd like anything moving

Of course in the end I begin again

I will hold my hand over the flame

Over the flame

(Without you, without me

Burning sun, Burning trees

La de dah, lah de dee

Shiny pill, rinse repeat)

I was inside

Out in Stumptown

The year was a coming of age

Taking long walks in the tall trees

And holding on to Christopher's siege

I was way down silent boredom town

Hoping for the year of the Lord

Can I lay my selfish ways back down

And hold my ear to the ground

I was inside with the lights on

Fearful when I'm running away

Cause the story is what the story does

And I'm tired of just walking away

I was inside with the lights on

Fearful when I'm running away
