Lyrics

Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see
Raising waves of heat
I press on in tiny bursts of speed

Caught in my pursuit, I play the fetishist admission
The longing that I feel drives me mad in no direction
Nailed by something cute, I tear it out with microsurgical precision

Incender
Put some gas on the ember
Lightning goes to ground

Incender
Crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground
Burning me down

Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face?

Double take
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you?

Another flash of face, igniting and familiar pulls me by the eye to the perimiter
Riviting my gaze
Is that your face in the crowd?

Incender
Drop some gas on the ember
I felt a slap on the face

Incender
Crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground, burning me down

Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face?

I fell awake
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you?

Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face?

Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see

Double take
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you?

I'm following a trail that only I can see
