Would it hurt you
Just to try
To resuscitate
Some desire?
You have to try to do something
And stop yourself
From burning so fiercely:
Whatever happened
To crucify desire?

If you don't do something soon, my friend,
You'll burn yourself up
Burn yourself out
And burn yourself away
I can feel the heat
Even though you're five miles away
And I'm five miles from myself
And I'm burning

It's not my fault
That I am walking
But not breathing:
I walk to keep you guessing
As to why I am not breathing.
