When I was a boy I met a witch With a little black cat And a name that sticks She’d show me her spells But she would never tell How they were done and by the curse of the sun I never learned And when silence prevailed Sorrow turned to flames A burning beyond my flesh And written in blood beneath my skin “Think of my eyes when you’re sleeping 
Think of my smile when you wake Think of my skin when you’re dreaming Till the day that you break Think of my soul bound to yours Beyond ailment or death But my words will never grace your ears again So let the dust of your hope be the end” 
I’ve made so many mistake Some that have cost me a lot But none have come close to the mark That you left on my soul And I wither away To dust and to bone Swept of by the wind to bring Grief and unrest Grief and unrest

Burning 04:14
I’ve got no place to call my own I’ve got all the time in the world I feel so far away from home The only home I’ll ever know 
I’m setting fire to the skies The smoke it burns my eyes I want to feel anything But this hate inside The tree in the yard grows nothing But colder As the thoughts in my mind Get harder to tame When all of this is over Will I be the same I overheard the whispers Just through the shouting at the bar Talk of a man and his wife And a brand new scar I took a walk in the dark To greet him with a smile And find out what hides Behind his eyes With cruel handed rage, they said He took her eyes away And locked her in the dark To waste away Without a word I snuck into the cabin A place filled with echoes of war The man who slept in the chair Was a friend no more As not to wake his empty gaze Silently I took her hand But something went awry I’d never caused such pain After all of this is over Will I be the same As the night which began to taste Like embers from a bonfires flame With a painful scream he shook my soul I will never be the same
