Geographer - The Fire Is Coming lyrics

The fire is coming again The ice, it covers my head I try to talk, but it burns at my lips It knows all of the hiding places where I live It knows all the excuses that I have to give The night is for lovers and friends And I put myself right in Covered in roses that prick at my skin I invite you to play, I invite you to win I invite you to take from me all that's shining I'm looking out that long tunnel light I can see my reflection in the stars, in the sky I could leave you for heaven, I could leave you tonight But we always believed what we saw with our eyes And the colors, they keep on falling into mine Oh, the sirens' call Their song so warm and light Below their feet we lie My voice sounds hollow and thin I've grown tired of the way I pretend So dress me in fabrics that sparkle and shine Because the lights, they went out in the tunnel tonight And the stories you tell sound like birds when they fly
