How do you know that you're still alive?
Well you wake up and you're still breathing
How unpoetic of you

Passion spilling from the brim of his eyes
Words cannot capture
They cannot describe
As his hands creep between hers
She thinks comfort
He thinks salvation
And she catches his gaze
Doubtful of his intentions
But he finally words
His gaze
I love you , he finally says

It's the simple pleasures we enjoy,
Reading a book
Telling a story
Sharing a beer
Singing a song
Anything at all
To remind us we're human

Now starts the chant
Of
A
F I R E
B R E A T H I N G
M A N

The only reason I didn't give you a chance
Was because my *** was the reason
I caught your glance
You said
At the rate I'm plucking my feathers
No one will ever desire me as much as you would
I battled you with my morale
As much as I could
Cause I knew
Boys like you
Dancing on the edge of their manhood
Never ever understood

Before she is your wife
She is my mother
Before she is my mother
She is a sister
Before she is a sister
She is a daughter
Before she is a daughter
She is a human
And how do I live with the fact that she is just as mortal as
The rest of us

This city drowns with our memories
How am I to live in it
Without you ?
