Owen Pallett

Infernal Fantasy

Owen Pallett


Across the overpass it starts to rain
We leave my father's house enveloped in flames
Owen where were you to stop the fire?
I know no satisfaction, only know desire

My arms are tender from the summer sun
Hallucinating as we try to make each other come
Your silhouette a stuttering of tracers
The rising flame reflects across our faces

The mind is merciful in its ignorance
For if we correlated all its contents
We'd give our bodies over to a fire
That knows no satisfaction only knows desire

Wait for the sunlight
Wait for another time
Wait for the sunlight
Wait for another life
Sun shines through you
Sunshine over you, over you
Sun shines through you
Sunshine over you, over you
