Australophilia / The Fire in Yamabiko Forest Lyrics

I've seen your face plastered somewhere before

In my dreams of goon sacks, surf, and emu wars

But now I can't recall its all a blur

I think I was in love, I can't remember

It was on a beach in Queensland, the sky was full of clouds

The only words I heard were coming out of your mouth

Saw beauty within the hardship that will lie ahead

Then I spoke but I forgot what I said

Oh well

It doesn't matter anyways

Thoughts that I could never orchestrate

But now I have ideas no better than the pipe dreams of a child

Of you and I and no one else exchanging awkward smiles

I don't think I'll ever be the same I'm not sure if I will be okay

Because it won't go away it won't go away

Why won't it go away why won't it go

Where nobody can find us

Somewhere in Australia

Where no one can remind us

That we don't belong

Dead Kokoro, it comes and goes and won't return the same

It stops and kills, it's such a thrill when it misbehaves

Catching birds with shotgun shells and old 7.62

It's okay to hate me 'cause i hate myself too

The most beautiful temple that i've ever seen

Plastered across the front page of magazines

In my dreams

It's calling out to me

What a scene

It wants to see me bleed

I'd rather watch it all burn down to the ground

Than see it everyday and know that I must live without

Okay

Engulf it all in flame

What a thought

It wants to watch me rot

When I looked back I saw

A vision from the past

I let it come and gnaw

A hole straight through my back

It intertwined with me

And i found a piece of you

Inside my flesh between

The things that I couldn't lose

Embers and ash

From things I can not have

Embers and ash

From things I can not have

Embers and ash

From things I can not have

Embers and ash

From things I can not have

Embers and ash

From things I can not have
