When a tremendous faith in someone proves false, the fire of love can ignite into something equally passionate, but so much more confusing.
Lyrics
The Same Fire (Words and Music by Jake Hedgecoth) Time and distances are liars, I told you this But so was I, you seemed bound to prove That even as bowed the knee and kissed The earth you tread, I was being untrue Bitterness was never part of the vision I formed of you while in intermission Yes, you’ve changed… it’s in the nature of a snake to shed its skin Rhyme and reason, no need for these you said Chaos is your brother, Anarchy is goddess In your self-made religion where never bled A savior of your soul, if you would be honest Arrogance and ignorance go hand in glove We are usually exactly what we rise above Yes, you’ve grown… a blackheart raven eats the peaceful dove Chorus: The things that uplift and edify The pedestals I put you on The rose garden in the mind The seeds have never grown It’s killing more than anything To know what it required To hate what I once loved with the same fire A treason case, you called me this right to my face Gave away my gift when I could be anything And you, my true north, the object which I chased I suppose success is what you’re medicating Tempo of the world has gotten violent and swells Gregorian chanting fills my empty heartspace Choirs of angels, circling vultures, I can’t tell If I’m being redeemed or destroyed these days Yes, I’ve changed… the sin invites the sinner Yes, I’ve changed… I’m back to a beginner Yes, you’ve changed… the devil drank your soul like wine with dinner Chorus: The things that uplift and edify The pedestals I put you on The rose garden in the mind The seeds have never grown It’s killing more than anything To know what it required To hate what I once loved with the same fire
