Can't you see I'm trapped at the borders of your world?
Past midnight eclipses and a starstruck sunrise
Watching you burn into orange clouds of
Forgotten agony.
Smoke streaked across skies like a meteor shower
Wishes unanswered but instead tumbled, crashing
Flourishing
With the golden tails of phoenixes.
Answer, make a noise. I'm waiting
And waiting and my heart cracks like
Clay left in heat
Until I know your own is
Whole as satin
Loved into infinity.

When I was writing this, I imagined two people, the first one is in deep suffering and the second keeps trying to help, all the while watching them go into flames (see the song attached to Part I), but it's open for interpretation in lots of different ways.
