Mount Eerie - Flaming Home

Flaming Home:
You thought you knew me. (Emptiness prevails.)
I thought our full house was glowing. (Emptiness in the house.)
Every single shape I see for the pile of dust it is.
Let's get out of the romance. (Empty house.)
Now I look at the lights of town through the trees on my way home.
(Emptiness.) Let's get out of the romance.
The house that I walk home to is in flames in this wind.
The wind is getting stronger. The emptiness shows.
The breath that moves the branches saying words that I don't know
blows from nowhere, just destroying for no reason
but to wake me up again, heartbroken and tall.
Wind revealing the dust that the body becomes.
The spaces where we stood echo quiet.
Rubbing eyes, we fill up the empty days.
Clinging with our things to a windy rock.
I revealed myself to you and let the wind take me.
Obliterated, you know me by my shadow.
