letra de you stayed / to live - for those i love

in 2016 we stole a couch
from an abandoned post office
and set it ablaze
at late i watch videos of that day and make play you stayed
garda drove by 3 times but never stopped at the sight
as we carried that couch over head height
in the night
left it in a field to burn tomorrow
or the next day in arts name
film the flames as they dance and swa.y
repeat on film the makeup of our estates
and like it always would
we returned
two days after to charred wood
on the couch that had already been burned

as i pen this
fire tears through a car parked
right outside my window
i push outside to the bright heat
sparks litter the street
and to me
i just want to text you a photo
and say this looks just like that mount kimbie
video we always watched
nothing is real
and you’re not here
vacuous flames just tease
how can this bring us to our knees?
why do i think
to stand again with you
in front of an inferno and gaze
could bring ease?
answer my call
make these flames dance for me
in 2008
we had a band called plagues
me, you, and the two robbie’s would play for days
during breaks
and then sit around my ma’s place on mysp-ce
pasta for dinner, as we filled the plates
one of us got some idea
thought it’d be great to set a tshirt ablaze
inside our wooden shed and instead learned our mistakes
with great haste
and i blasted the kip with the spray
of a fire extinguisher, til the sound of flames
made way for the weight of
“what the are we doing? f-ck sake.”
the place looking white as christmas day
but this time in mid may
we left that kip in some state
and like some cruel twist of fate
the loved memory of stopping flames
would make way for the welcome chase of the same
later down the line on a new date
as we would lift that couch over the motorway
and into our estate
it too to see the flames we never grew out of
just reshaped
fresh with a new weight
some things from our teenage days never changed
as we’d burn to do something great
as we laid the couch down in the backfields
and then made ourselves away
fire walk with me
i’d hear you say
i have a love
and it never fades
i have a love full of flames that rage
i have a love that never turns
i have a love that burns

- for those i love
