Fold into another source of light
Set fire to all your paintings
Let all your poems drown and cry
Into your photographs
Throw them on the pyre
Burning bright
Burning bright
You filled your cup at our oasis
Convinced yourself your art was your life
Think about all the hours you wasted
Think about all the ones you left behind
Have you created more than just a mind?
Was your heart blessed with substance
More than the children in your eyes?
Where does the damage come from?
Why isn't your life now complete?
Dance around what you once cherished
Let your work fuel your heat
You filled your cup at our oasis
Convinced yourself your art was your life
Think about all the hours you wasted
Think about all the ones you left behind
Have you created more than just a mind?
Fold into another source of light
Set fire to all your paintings
Let all your poems drown and cry
Into your photographs
Throw them on the pyre
