Watch it all burn down
as a friendship dies
and the world goes blind
I know it was just water but every single sip
felt like drinking the weight of your world
I felt indecisive and lost in your thought
while you were lost on your own
Your thorn in my side
In spirit alone
Your fever-burned eyes
So far from love
There was so much more
that could’ve been adored
Where’s the spirit? (Do you feel it?)
Do you feel it? (Where’s the spirit?)
Where’s the spirit?
Have you thrown it away?
Are you running to a different place?
Do you feel it?
Are you dancing with me
or are you finding a way to shift the blame?
Watch it all burn down
as a friendship dies
and the world goes blind
