"wood on the fire"  july 26th, 2023


verse 1

i hear the clock ticking in the hall

i feel the footsteps rattling off the wall

it's a scene, isn't it?

i hear the leaves falling on the roof

i feel the moon beginning to move

it's serene, isn't it?


chorus

this time of night

i either want to die

or i think i can fly

this time of night

im swallowin' the high

from voices in the sky

and i get a little bit tired

just a little bit wired

but throw some wood on the fire

and this time of night

i won't say goodbye

i can't say goodbye


verse 2

sometimes i like to listen to the cicadas

sometimes i wonder how it sounds to have made it

it's silent, isn't it?

sometimes i like to listen to the heat

sometimes i wonder about the things i've seen

it's violent, isn't it?


chorus

this time of night

i either want to die

or i think i can fly

this time of night

im swallowin' the high

from voices in the sky

and i get a little bit tired

just a little bit wired

but throw some wood on the fire

and this time of night

i won't say goodbye

i can't say goodbye


-fun fact this song came from a random discord message I sent that lowkey was kinda poetic "past 11pm I either want to die or I think I can fly"
