I Thought I Saw It In His Eyes Once

I thought I saw it in his eyes once

I thought I had been the cause

But soon enough I found

I wasn't the ones feeding the flames

I thought I saw it in my eyes once

I thought he had been the cause

But soon enough I discovered

It was me going up in flames

I thought it was a beautiful thing

Something to keep safe and cherish

But soon enough it revealed that

It was a destructible force

It winds itself

Around us

And doesn't let us go

Until we're nothing but another set of ashes

Scattered in the wind
