smolder

You start with fire, but you lose the flame

The ashes smolder, but the warmth's soon gone

You end up cold, and lonely on your own

A man should spend his days?

Do you let them smolder

Like paper in fire?

Heartbreaks, the heavy worlds upon your shoulders

Will we burn on or we just smolder?

Somehow I know I'll find you there

Color of sulfur banished to a single arc

Porcelain smolder, and don't forget your state of the art

Buried deep in the soil, selfless or daft

Don't fret over the pieces that smolder in the sun

(Untie! A little bit dies, a little each time, the medicine smiles)

And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames

Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain

But not me, I'm alive

All the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames

Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain

But not me, I'm alive

I realize five years went by, I'm older

Memories smolder, winters colder

But that same piano loops over and over and over

I'm up early 'cause ain't enough light in the daytime

Smoke two sweets and still be chicken smolder clock by nine

Bring that holder my boulders smolder on the PA pipes

pine has burned, the ash has cleansed

the message smolders, is lost, but finally sent

connie says she's never seen the cougars so bold

Holy water gun burnin' holes in you

Then the slaughter come, and it smolder you

Someone showers you with love for you, they die, and that's fact

But the burning in my heart

The memory smolders on

Of the gunners dying words on the intercom

The heart grows older but never ever learns

The memories smolder and the soul always yearns

After the fire, the fire still burns

Folds the rope into its bag

Blows his pipe of smolders

Blankets smoke into the room

my stronghold faith whats keeping me whole

smolder out flames freezing it over

all the small favors added up into the Loss

Lock, load, fire away

Let it burn or let it smolder away

Keep on digging your grave

Heatwave in my brain

Smolder in my soul

You got me workin' up a sweat

Slugging hot pink frozen drinks

To put the foot down on her smolder

Easy, cowboy, what? s the rush now?

Fabricated by their own doing

As their limbs smolder and ignite

Their faces steadily ripen with immense pleasure

That maneuver past the beaches to the bosom of the pavement

Now the bow drill smolder in a flooded bit of basement

Grace of misled teen, who prefers his scenes

The sun is shining on a brand new day

Blackened corpses smolder where they slain;

Self-flagellation prompts him to confess:

Yes, there's got to be a way to break out of this world

You were burned, yours is a love that smolders, so hard to heal

That you're carrying the weight of the world upon you're shoulders

You're feeling less whore but you stimulate

The hatred smolders in your eyes

I'd drop to my knees in a second

Felt the fire, now your mind is sober

Embers left behind, now let them smolder

Art is in the eye of the beholder

I enjoy being a girl

With someone with eyes that smolder

Says he loves every silken curl

The gang's all gone

And I smolder on

I, who saw them leave

Fade to the winds

First it smolders, then it burns you

Past the point of no return

And there's one more thing I've come to know for sure

There's no bitterness that smolders, no chip on any shoulder

That a random act of kindness couldn't cure

And the snow is falling down

But as the fire smolders

I never will grow older

I can't tell if you're seeing stars

A little smolder won't hurt no one

I can hear you picking at scars

The darkest nights we look upon

They smolder on the lawn

What we smite and bathe in light

We've come this far to find

Without a wind in the fire, the burning can smolder

Don't let this feeling die

Why are you smoldering?

And why are you weeping so?

Met with a truck and lost about

Smolders in that twisted chunk

While we praise our own and curse his luck

Perhaps because it has been burning for long

Now smoldering, now bursting into hot flames

Now hastily covered over to smolder again
