I shut my eyes and you're not there, the world disappears
And I have control
I open them up again and my pulse accelerates
And my blood runs cold
You won't return my gaze, you won't acknowledge my stare
I'm pleading silently, please remember me

You, enshrined
You on fire, filling my mind
With smoke and flame
You unknown, only your name
And a near forgotten, hasty touch of lips
Of fingertips
And the seeds are sown

I close my eyes and hold my breath and pray for the ground
To swallow me whole
I stand completely still while desire and fear
Battle for my soul
I don't have anything I wouldn't give away
To draw you into me, possess you completely

You enshrined
You on fire, filling my mind
With smoke and flame
You unknown, only your name
And a near forgotten, hasty touch of lips
Of fingertips
And the seeds are sown
You, sublime
You outside of space and time
Are standing there
You untouched and unaware
That someone so close is burning in your name
A secret flame
And wanting you so much

I think I must be mad, I cannot concentrate
On anything but you, there's nothing I can do

You enshrined
You on fire, filling my mind
With smoke and flame
You unknown, only your name
And a near forgotten, hasty touch of lips
Of fingertips
And the seeds are sown
