"Transparent Pearls" by Mimi's Melodies

I feel it crawling by the spine Something of mine, something of yours I cannot hold it in my hands I try to taste it in my mouth But my tongue Isn’t free enough I struggle just to dwell inside An orb this bright, this intense The moist.. The smoke.. I hold my breath in the firelight Where bodies burn to death And spirits survive I hold my breath in the firelight Where everything dissolves But something stays alive I feel it crawling in the heat This sweat of mine Transparent pearls Slowly sliding down my back Like time That won't turn back I stand still in the open flame Afraid to move, afraid to stay I hold my breath in the firelight Where bodies burn to death And spirits survive I hold my breath in the firelight Where everything dissolves But something stays alive Your skin Sodden, dripping wet By heated coals And ash I don't know where I end Or where you pass I hold my breath in the firelight Not asking to be saved Just to survive I hold my breath in the firelight Let it take the rest Leave what's mine Still crawling Still warm Still mine
