Incense

Incense


Ive lived my whole life inside an incense stick,
just burning away with nothing to show.
Nothing but ashes, waiting for the wind to blow.
My presence lingering only briefly, sickeningly thick.


{Chorus}
you could burn 100 more like me every day,
but you wouldnt want to anyway.
Just one is enough
to rattle the complaints,
of the neigh-bours above.

Seemingly packaged with all of the others - do i smell the same?
And do the only things that make me unique
just fade into the gray?
Is there anything else
that gives a face to the name?
Maybe its my fault.
Maybe I'm to blame?

So just burn me for a little while longer,
just so I can smile -
and pretend that I am stronger. (echo: "pretend that I am stronger")
I promise not to try and choke you up,
as your lungs fill up,
with all that I am.
Please just dont forget to breathe me in.

Breathe me in (x3)

{Chorus}
You could burn 100 more like me every day,
but you wouldnt want to anyway.
Just one is enough
to rattle the complaints,
of the neigh-bours above.

Seemingly packaged with all of the others - do i smell the same?
or do the only things that make me unique
just fade into the gray?
is there anything else
that gives a face to the name?
Maybe its my fault.
Maybe I'm to blame?

Burn me at the ends and burn me slow
cause baby, I'm here and I dont wanna go.
Burn me from top to bottom until I go out. (go out)
Then take my remains,
but dont take them far. (not too far)
keep me right where i want to be. (echo: "where i want to be")
...next to your heart.

Next to your heart (x5)
