"find a fire" by Ani Difranco

thanks to Juliana!

i am wading through the waters wanting you
i don't dare look cuz i'll see right through
i tried to warn myself to sleep, 
but now i'm wading, way too deep
i can't scream my sirens any higher, 
cuz i'm bound to find a fire
i can smell your closeness though you hide in your tower,
the peasant boy plagued by the princess of power
and out of the struggle of your isolation,
comes a redemption of innocence by association
i can't scream my sirens any higher,
cuz i'm bound to find a fire
so i will play your game, 
cuz it's my game too
a stranger's arthmetic where one and one don't make two
i can sense a softness there, can you imagine the lifenessness that we could 
share,
i can't scream my sirens any higher, cuz i'm bound to find a fire..
