Fire Changes Everything

lyrics

FIRE CHANGES EVERYTHING
L Fiorentino

Your eyes lick me like fire
Your look leaves me no room
Bear witness as I burst into flame
Bear witness as I burst into bloom
I don’t want to know what I will become
Does the phoenix for the future implore
Do the ashes reach back for the flickering
Does a rose long to be a bud once more

Something awakens,
I can feel it moving
Listen, it makes a faint sound
The rhythm of wings, the rhythm of blood
Of roots pushing into the ground

I thought I might rest in your absence
I was right, I was cool, I was still
But now I’m thick in the quick of your growing season
With you scorching what’s left of my will
A moth or a flame, what am I now
Which offers the greater thrill?
Am I moving out of living alone
Or moving in for the kill

Oh but it’s not the end
This love is a circular thing
Water falls, rocks rock and wind will sting
But Fire Changes Everything
Fire Changes Everything

And I wouldn’t want it any other way

And I live with the knowing
When I’m smoky and glowing
I am sucked into everything that breathes
And if you ask I will tell you to do as you will
And if you do, I’m going to do as I please

And this is pleasing me, yes it is Yes, you’re pleasing me
And I wouldn’t want it any other way
I wouldn’t want you any other way
I’ll take you like you are
Wouldn’t it any other way
Fire Changes Everything

"Being part of a Laurianne Fiorentino performance is to be gently guided from the everyday to a plane of beauty and understanding that presents to us the possibilities of the psycho-spiritual worlds we all seek with our beings."
