This was a track I wrote in 2002, the last song i made before a major mental breakdown that i'm still recovering from.

Story behind the song
Mostly it's about how I was feeling at the time, an acknowledgement of a lot of my problems, without knowing then what to do about them...
Lyrics
The fires burn around me still
A torch cold blue and numb
Wandering through this ruin
Of rubble and of stone
My skin is pale, my heart is cold
Yet the fires won't desist
When I have no-one left to please
I have to reason to exist
The sunset hangs in tatters now
A beacon red and vile
The end to come that feels so near
But forever won't arrive
My eyes are glazed, my head's opaque
Yet neuroses still are driven
I don't know what it is I want
But it's not what I'm being given
The finest wines of heaven turn to poison at my lips
And the hand that grasps the chalice, fine tremors do enfold
All the things that I touch
All the things that I see
All the things I can taste
All the things I can be
Will never be good enough
For me
