The house drew a mouth of flames 
That could not wait to hold it and burn 
And I was inside, I saw it turn 

Bright cats clawing up the darkening walls 
Ruthless and hunting all of their flaws 
I was inside, I saw it all 

I took what I could from the deafening blaze 
But I could only take so much 
One thing goes while another thing stays 
Some too heavy, but none that you can reach 

The things that I lost I will always remember 
The things that I lost I will never forget 
The things that I lost left behind no reminder 
The things that I lost, and the things I’ll lose yet 

The open white beam of youth is gone 
The letters, the songs, and the stories are gone 
The misguided fears, and the illusions are gone 
And what I was saying 
Has lost its breath, and the air is gone 

The things that I took I hold close to my body 
The things that I took I hold close to my chest 
The things that I took cannot leave any longer 
The things that I took are the things I love best 

The silent focus of a deep diving prayer 
The rational roads, with uneven scars 
The sweet silent joy of a deep woods commune 
I left the stars, but I took the moon
