Mire

**Verse 1:**(repeat x2)

Do you ever hear half of what I say?

Words spoken in vain, lost in empty space

That was a test, a question designed to fail

You'd think I'd have learned my lesson by now

**Chorus:**

Dancing with your fire

But pyromancy's my profession

Half of your attention

Is all I ever receive

Trapped in the mire

Of your hollow affection

**Verse 2:**

That flame can't carry the load

My patience has worn thin

Don't know how I earned your ire

When all I did was care too much

**Bridge:**

Embers dying slowly

Hope fading to ash

The heat between us now

Nothing but scorched remains

**Chorus:**(repeat x2)

Dancing with your fire

But pyromancy's my profession

Half of your attention

Is all I ever receive

Trapped in the mire

Of your hollow affection

**Freestyle Verse:**

Clock's ticking on borrowed time

Emotions bottled up, ready to ignite

Screaming into voids that never echo back

Your silhouette fading in the distance

Every word I offer falls on deafened ears

Reaching through the smoke but grasping only air

My expertise in flames can't warm this cold terrain

When your indifference burns hotter than any fire I've known

**Final Chorus:**(repeat x2)

Dancing with your fire

But pyromancy's my profession

Half of your attention

Is all I ever receive

Trapped in the mire

Drowning in silence
