Download Larry and His Flask - Log, Hearth, and Ash
Lyrics
There are others in this house, I hear them calling from the outer rooms
Log, hearth and ash under stale kerosene fumes
Footsteps in the saddening snow lead me farther from this place
Second chair drums keeping swaggering pace
But there are few who know where I’m going
And few who know where I’ve been
Not again
I’ve burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre
Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within
Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss
Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years
Spare me the compassion that other men might show
All has been lost in the harvest moon glow
With hateful embers in my chest, I’ll go wandering through the night
With godspeed I’ll travel downward hence the light
But there are few who know where I’m going
And few who know where I’ve been
Not again
I’ve burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre
Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within
Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss
Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years
The pages of my time-worn life, written in blood
The skin will peel, the wounds won’t heal
Awaiting the flood
I’ve burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre
Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within
Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss
Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years
