Air for Fire

from VIRAL MELODIES by Tavo Carbone

lyrics

Use me up completely to emancipate yourself
Whatever suits your own sense of enlightened good health
Make all the arrangements you can stand to be made
I'll be tightrope walking on a dull razor blade

What is the point of anything we've done
Burn me at the stake, say I'm the self absorbed one

You can scream it off a mountain or explain to me
I have my eyes wide open so why can't I see
What's done's not nearly done there can't be that much left to do
But if I can't speak for myself then I will not for you

Go be a rebel without a pause
Throw me on the train tracks for my love just because

Sing it from the pious church pew
I truly wish you the best with your inner child too

No there's nothing wrong with love in all the forms people know
Long as you stop when you stop come and go as you go
Metal rusts inside my mouth from this horn I blow
On my lips bears the mark of poison I show

We can work together four hands composing more
I'll pick the lock so that you can walk through the door

But now I'm floating down the slipstream please throw me an oar
I'd like to stay by you here but don't know how long should for
It's enveloped my body like the worst heart disease
Why do I feel so bad if my aim is to please?
Feeling like a stinky smelly big old hunk of cheese

I can't strip down my skeleton the way you tease
Call me up one day and surely we'll shoot the breeze

May time kindly tell you more about the shape I'm right now in
Time circles round and it comes round again
Time reminds us of things missed again and again
Glad it was welcome when I'd lend the hand that I lent
Writing songs like letters since I now regret I have sent
