It beats against the sides

Of the ship that is my mind

As I travel across icy seas

Pounds at my beating heart

But the rhythm doesn't start

To join the fire of the feeling in me

It burns like hot lava

Leaving red skin in its wake

And I don't think I want to go on like this

With this passion and flame

Burning brighter than day

As I try to stop the heat in this abyss

But I'd miss it

I'd long for the warmth

In the cold of the night

Without it I'd fall

Deep into the dark

Without anything for light
