Flicker

Black clouds in a summer fire

Black clothes in your memory

Your wicked plastic smile a transparency

The fire's dancing just like me

Nightfall used to be your ocean

And I your bridge to cross

I survived your deadly potion

Only you can feel the loss

Now you're looking at me to be your boss

You can see me flicker in the light of your eyes

And I won't be a victim of your terrible lies

You can find me dancing by the light of the moon

But you won't find me coming back to you

Too soon too soon too soon too soon

Hot summer has come to meet you

Right there where you left it last

The sweep of loud cicadas

That sing of summers past

You take the green right from the grass

You can see me flicker in the light of your eyes

And I won't be a victim of your terrible lies

You can find me dancing by the light of the moon

But you won't find me coming back to you

Too soon too soon too soon too soon
