waking ablaze - alyssa kai lyrics

Loading...

i woke up this morning and rose from my bed
my mind is ablaze with such thoughts in my head
there isn’t lot that my living requires
but no one should have to see water on fire
out on my barge i caught sight of a glow
that took from the city a million or more
we pulled water from oily water and sprayed
but the man i love lies hundred miles away

i get home tonight and i lay in my bed
my mind is ablaze with such thoughts in my head
it’s my job to fight it but i’m getting tired
some days i just wanna see cleveland on fire
on the front page that the fire anoints
says “ohio pen rebels fed at gunpoint.”
i’m off to my post i get no holiday
while the man i love lies hundred miles away

i wake up in pain, barely rose from my bed
my mind is ablaze with such thoughts in my head
the riot continued from when it transpired
when powderkeg hearts caught together on fire
last hallowe’en night when the moonshine was full
my lover he fought for the food in his bowl
‘gainst the national guard—i’ll have no peace today
while the man i love lies hundred miles away

i get home again, i can’t stay in this bed
my mind is ablaze with such thoughts in my head
they’d spit if they knew my source of desire
i’m alone on this river forever on fire
i heard today that they cut off the heat
and if he doesn’t freeze he’ll have nothing to eat
the wind and the rain come in north off the lake
while the man i love lies hundred miles away

i will not come back home, and i won’t come to bed
i am waking ablaze with these thoughts in my head
some of the men in those cellblocks retired
but on those who resisted the guards opened fire
the wounded are four. the murdered are one
the embers are caged and my lover he’s gone
so i’m setting a fire to burn up this whole state
for the man i love lying hundred miles away
