The Land of 1,000 Fires lyrics

Two blue steel trains run through the tunnels of your cool blue steel eyes

Vernon

Rock quarry

The vastness of which has nothing on my beautiful mind

Dylan

I hear Dylan when I look at you

I can see it on my arm in invisible ink like a tattoo

The yin to my yang

the toughness to my unending softness

A striking example of masculinity

Firm in your verticality

Sure in your confrontation against all elements

and duality

The sun to my wilting daisy

The earth to the wildflower that doesn't care where it grows

Vernon

everything's burnt here

there's no escaping it

the air is fried and on fire

I've never really fallen in love

but whatever this feeling is

I wish everyone could experience it

this place feels like a person

familiar

like someone I've stood next to before

but never while I was standing next to you

Thank you

for being here

for bearing witness to my vastness

Through the year I've called you in and out of my orbit

You, in your madness

The satellite that's constellating my world

Mimicking the inner chaos that I've disowned

A mirror to my past life retributions

And a reflection of my sadness

If I'm going to keep on living the way that I'm living

I cant do it without you.

My feet aren't on the ground

I need your body to stand on

your name to define me

on top of being a woman

I am scared

and

ethereal

and

there are seven worlds in my eyes

I'm accessing of all them once

one to draw my words and my muses

another one i try and harness late at night that lies somewhere

off of the right of Jupiter

and then of course there's this one i live in

the land of 1000 fires

that's where you come in

You

Vernon

Dylan

Two blue steel trains

running through the tunnels of your

cool blue steel eyes

to guide me far from the world of my early days

that I cant quite make out clearly

that beckon me towards high sea cliffs

on long car rides

towards a future place

a world unknown to me

made up of something surreal and dripping

Flowers in solar systems Oversized

You Vernon Dylan

no words needed to sponge up the

dark nights

no explanations for the globes in my eyes

shoulder to shoulder in the factory light

letting me be who I would have been

if everything had turned out alright

3 alternative endings

now course through my blood on ice

But I thrive because I say I do

and because it's what I write

But honestly if you weren't here

I don't know what thing would look like

That's my why no matter what world I'm in

I'm accessible by only one satellite

Vernon

Dylan

and you in your madness

with two steel trains running

through your cool blue steel eyes
