Musical Accompaniment:
I lit the fuses all at once and then watched starry-eyed
As the technicolor explosion lit your face and then suddenly died
Eventually I ran out of things to say
And I didn't have the feeling you wanted me to stay
But now I wonder if maybe I made a mistake
Perhaps the reason it's 3AM and I'm still lying here awake
I know that isn't true but I've never been that persuasive
And it doesn't help at all that my subconscious is so invasive
I'm confident the decision I made was right
Only briefly burns the flame that dares to burn so bright
But now I'm in the darkness and I don't know what to do
There's no one here for company; I've just myself to talk to
And yet sometimes I still see the fireworks glowing in the distance
And it's then that even I must question my persistence
I can't live in the moment because I'm too focused on the past
I'm adrift on the Phoenician Sea and by the Seven is she vast
I can only hope the current takes me to somewhere I belong
And that the light on the horizon isn't just another siren's song
