HIGHER AND HIGHER

Slowly,
you slowly,
slowly turn me
up so slowly burn me
I'm catching fire,
catch me
I'm falling
softly
you approach me
than avoid me
you set me ablaze
so quickly
and quietly destroy me
inside
I'm fading
why do you play so cruelly?
you want to consume me

I'm left with only
a lonely, lovely longing
I'm fire sweetly burning

Higher and higher
burning higher
and higher

Slowly,
you slowly, slowly burn me
in your flames
I'm drowning
and from my ashes
I rise back up
again

Slowly,
you slowly, slowly burn me
in your flames
I'm drowning
and from my ashes
I rise back up
again
you tease me
don't play with me,
release me
I'm begging you to help me
I'm pleading for your mercy

You see me glowing,
but inside I'm dying
you see me firmly standing,
but I'm softly melting

I'm left with only
a lonely lovely longing
I'm fire sweetly burning

Higher and higher
burning higher and higher
