eruption

we tell the story and it is a game
so many years pass without a thought
and then we pause and know we have been caught

what we believed a lamp was just a flame
and we've forgotten most that we were taught
we tell the story and it is a game

this is the point when we are half past shame
and well past counting all that we have brought
to the last table this adds up to naught
we tell the story and it is a game
