To feel how fire will feel.
See how the man reaches out instinctively
For what he cannot have.

Then the humans.
That’s usually how I see things.
Or at least, how I try.”

“No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye.
No matter what you say
looks like I'm here to stay.
No matter where I go
I don't know if you know
but everywhere we've been
I'm kept in quarantine.”
