earthquakes.

it's not that complicated, it's no so very deep
but when we don't speak, you know I'm left to weep
when I find we're pointing fingers, spewing words like lava
I can't take the turmoil because it's not who I am
why is there always an earthquake with every step I take?
I love to leave an impression, darling -
but leaving you in the ashes was never part of my plan
You don't need a savior, I know this very well
but if you could see your part in this
that you drew me in too.
maybe you weren't aware of the passion seething within me
It's clear in my gaze, that I'm tender and so receptive
but there burns a flame of the hottest blue
this part of me which you've not accepted
I can burn somewhere farther away
so you won't feel my heat
I don't want you to be wounded
I could try harder, to be nothing but sweet
but I'm the yin and yang, babe
the darkness is so cold and the white in me is a natural heat
I'll spread my wildfires, singing all the way back to my bed
and I can lay down in still waters to live out the passions in my head
