i stumbled upon an obscure site today. i'm not familiar with this artist, but when i read the lyrics of the songs, i was intrigued. as most of my friends know, i'm a sucker for quotable quotes and wonderful song lyrics. so i'm posting the link to seaholm lyrics here. here's a sample taken from the site..
SET FIRE
Public displays
Of secret faces
Concealing all
But minor traces
Of the wildest truths untold
From pages still left to unfold
The origami
Of desire
Whose creases keep that fever
Burning hotter & higher
Can mutilate
And it can spindle, too
But I will not set fire
To my life for you
Words mix the potion
I spin the notion
To swim the ocean
That you pour for me
And so you linger
Hook, line & sinker
Wrapped around my fingers
Like a rosary
Always seems initially
A decent exchange
Pants full of promise
For a shirtful of pain
Same old flame
Burning since my youth
But I will not set fire
To my life for you
You trade devotion
Like a currency
But when you win my love
You purchase everything
Basically, just minutes
Are what's being consumed
`Cause I would not set fire
No, I would not set fire
I will not set fire to my life
...for you
