lyrics

I jumped into the fire like a spark gone rogue.
He said he'd feed my every desire and I trusted he would know them.
I saw ancient mysticism in his stare.
I saw a boy broken by his father in his wild bluebeard.

And he broke me, over and over
and I couldn't help being his wounded lover.
Every time he'd call, I'd hobble over,
my crutches in tow.
Scrying my blank face in the mirror,
waiting for my way out to appear.

Soul retrieval's a long road to walk
when it's too much effort, even to talk
you gotta, trust the suns gonna break through the storm
and without a labour ain't no baby be born.

And with the calendar pages spent,
I could see where my wonder went,
she hadn't gone far,
she was just meditating on the opposite side of my star.

You said spark was our word,
I held it close to me, I had it tattooed on my hands.
You promised me a fire, I guess you delivered it just wasn't what I'd planned.
Your love burnt my house right down to the basement,
it bled my river dry.
You said spark was the word,
I had to let mine go out by and bye,
