More From You

I need more from you, more than a lantern left in the wind Not just a spark that trembles and hides within I want the fuse, the stubborn line that waits for heat, the breath of danger, the pulse beneath the street Give me the fire, not the smoke that drifts away Give me the thunder, not the rumor of the day I need more from you more than the curtain of the blue I need the storm that bends the night in two I need more from you, a word that walks instead of sleeps Not just a sigh that disappears between the teeth I want the weight, the copper ringing in the air, the sound of choosing, the mark of one who dares Give me the fire, not the smoke that drifts away Give me the thunder, not the rumor of the day I need more from you more than the curtain of the blue I need the storm that bends the night in two There is no meaning in a lantern never lit, no prayer in pages that refuse to admit If love is only surface, then the depth will break in two I need the fire, I need more from you Give me the fire, not the memory of its glow Give me the journey, not the signs along the road I need more from you more than the silence painted through I need the flame that dares to burn me too
