Set the room on fire
Follow your heart's desire
Torch the place and see all that's familiar to you dissolve
Melt away into oblivion
ย
Your family is asleep upstairs
The floorboards creak
And your dad's chair and mother's mystique
Are good lighting fuel and tinder
And it brings tears to your eyes
The smoke brings tears to your eyes
This was all in the early hours before anyone awoke
And your priceless works of art have all gone up in smoke
Your motivation was never made clear to me
A question that was never asked
The answer to another question was you'd lost your mind
My cousin twice removed was the one that found you
No one was hurt only damages to be paid
That broke the backs of your family
And you were left with no one
And you were left with no one
This was the answer to a question
That had been asked a few years back
When you first showed signs of a troubled mind
Dissolve
Melt away
Into oblivion
ย
Into oblivion
I have one of your paintings hanging in my room
And sometimes in the gloom I think how a dash of fire
Would liven it up
Go in and blazen it with colours
Fiery red, amber glow, charcoal, orange inferno
But then I come back and remind myself
It's just a painting after all
Dissolve
Melt away
Into oblivion
ย
Into oblivion
