Dreams of immolation
For the Clicker's Club Dream challenge.
The lyric has a dream element to it but also the melodic sequence in the middle came in a dream, making it a doubly apt choice.
I had that dream again last night,
The one I've had before:
I could have anything I wanted -
Anything at all.
Money didn't seem an object,
I had fame and favour too,
But it was all ashes in my hand
Because all I want is you
I just want you
It's not that we desire
Things we can't possess,
It's just you set a fire
Burning in my chest
And it hurts like hell when I touch it
Like some livid burn tissue
As if I needed reminding
That all I want is you.
I just want you back again
That flame blazed too brightly,
Too much fuel was consumed,
We let it burn our fingers
Till it cauterised the wound.
But once you've tasted that charred confection
Nothing else will do -
Though I subsist on other dishes
All I ever want is you
I just want you back again
I can dream, can't I?
