Burlap To Cashmere

Skin Is Burning

When the darkness falls early

And the light hits the ground

There's a moment to be captured

So I sit here with silence

In the makes of my eyes

Talking to you, who left before

I don't know why

These things, I cannot

It comes with the gig, I feel it dwelling

The friends, away, afraid of me

And I know I'm near

But my pride is selling

Trading for hearts of humble peers

And she comes with the son

Her light is shining, beaming with love

Flying to the ocean

And I, I know the seagulls

When I see her flying reaching out to the bones

That are casually roasting

And my skin is burning with the fire of the world

Sometimes my eyes are tricking me

But when the words of His song

Are singing through the birds

I can't help but die, so He can take me higher

And this dark small pain grows like cancer

Sometimes her eyes are speaking to me

But when the flesh is gone, my soul is all I travel by

And my guitar will vanish like the earth and the sea

Yes, my guitar will vanish like the earth

And my skin is burning with the fire of the world

Sometimes my eyes are tricking me

But when the words of His song

Are singing through the birds

I can't help but die, so He can take me higher
