Roman candles

hardened skin
scented skin like candles
I'm burning
oh I'm burning away

falling apart is beautiful
when you're not the one falling
when you're just watching the sky

still this blue white sky
still this too wide sky
still this rocket's rage
still I can't get away

falling apart is beautiful
when you're not the one falling
when you're just watching the pieces flare

warm skin
scented skin like candles
I'm burning
oh I'm burning away
