polaroid (2010)

She's got you stuck in black and white
Closed in and trapped
On every side
She lights a match, the walls ignite
Oh, you can run
But you can't hide

You find you're smiling all alone
In your prison
In the trash
A face you think you might have known
Has shriveled up
And turned to ash

The flames begin to lick your skin
And you can't move
You're petrified
But even they can't melt the grin
That stole the heart
That you denied

They're burning through your clever lies
And you're afraid
That it's too late
If you could move, you'd shield your eyes
The heat alone
Has sealed your fate

And still your ashes seem to smile
Though they are cold
And grey in hue
She holds them in her hand a while
And whispers that
She misses you
