about

I was dating a girl with some pretty deep emotional problems. Unpredictable things would set her off. I got pretty good at walking on eggshells and, at the time of writing this song, it seems I was pretty committed to enabling her passive aggressive control tactics. The lyric would become slightly prophetic when she allegedly tried to poison me (alleged by her).

lyrics

Some days I watch you go
Down in husks of flame
Burned from the tension of
The mention of a name
And every hidden ember of
Every bruise and scar
Bursts into flame again
Like an old and dying star

Sometimes I wonder if
You'll ever burn away
Like a comet tail
In brilliant array
You with your dying star
The light trickles out of you
Faced with this death I guess
I'd rather go down in flames too

I watch your dying star
The light trickles out of you
Faced with this death I guess
I'll go down in flames with you
