[Verse 1]
Salt on my tongue
Vinegar bright in my teeth
Winter air knifing my lungs
As I stand by the door
Hardly breathing
There’s ash on the bricks
Shadow curled under the hearth
And the thought of it ending
Strikes flint in the dark of my heart
[Chorus]
Let it burn
Let it burn in my hand
This hot stolen crust
Passed quick as we stand
Laugh while it scalds
Spill crumb…
