Burning Soul

SOMETHING BURNS INSIDE MY CHEST
 BILE RISES IN MY THROAT
 I MISS THOSE KISSES
 I MISS THOSE HUGS
 I MISS MY LOVE

SOMETHING BURNS INSIDE MY CHEST
 BILE RISES IN MY THROAT
 WHEN I SEE LOVERS ON STREET
 MY EYES FEEL COLD
 I LOOK DOWN AND TURN AROUND
 TO LET MY TEARS FALL

SOMETHING BURNS INSIDE MY CHEST
 BILE RISES IN MY THROAT
 FISTS PUSH MY POCKETS DOWN
 WITH SHOULDERS SHRUGGED ALONG
 I WALK EMPTY STREETS ALONE AT NIGHT
 TO TALK WITH PAGAN GOD

SOMETHING BURNS INSIDE MY CHEST
 BILE RISES IN MY THROAT
