Roman Candles

I dip my eyes into the coy pond

You walk around a better person than you are

I know that nothing's forever

You never leave me for too long

Falling in and out of rooms

Contemplating my doom

Disinfecting all the social vampires

Hold me by the hand

I'm in line with the fire

We're as roman candles hoping

We both burst into blue

Because legends never die

They just sometimes lose their place

If you shoot me in the heart

Would you look me in the face?

Keep me out of sight

When you feel like I'm just another vice

If it ever starts to rain

I would hold the door open until you're dry

Maybe I'm lost in another cold hotel room

Roman candles on the 4th of July

Hoping that we both get off soon

Because legends never die

They just sometimes lose their place

If you shoot me in the heart

Would you look me in the face?

I'd rather taste you in some lighter fable

Where we won't burn out

Or be thrown away

If we're just roman candles

Enclosed in spaces

Would it be vain?

Because legends never die

They just sometimes lose their place

If you shoot me in the heart

Would you look me in the face?
