Double Take Paroles

The longing that I feel drives me mad in no direction.
Nailed by something cute, I tear it out with microsurgical precision.

Incender.
Put some gas on the ember.
Lightning goes to ground.

Incender.
Crazy fool on a bender.
Striking the ground.
Burning me down.

Double take.
Left with an aftertaste.
I look again.
Was it your face?

Double take.
I'm in an altered state.
I look again. Is that your face in the crowd?

Incender.
Drop some gas on the ember.
I felt a slap on the face.

Incender.
Crazy fool on a bender.
Striking the ground, burning me down.

Double take.
Left with an aftertaste.
I look again.
Was it your face?

I fell awake.
I'm in an altered state.
I look again.
Was it really you?

Double take.
Left with an aftertaste.
I look again.
Was it your face?

Looking for your face where it could never be.
I'm following a trail that only I can see.

Double take.
I'm in an altered state.
I look again.
Was it really you?

I'm following a trail that only I can see.
