about

Dedicated to a large orange and black creature who thinks I'm her friend.

lyrics

Orange fire, burning bright
Are the ashes spots or stripes?
Doesn't matter to me or to you because
If you're a monster, I am too
Prowling into the woods of night
I'm burning just out of sight
Lost in a formless forest of naked metaphor
Because the truth lies...

Distance time, as if in a dream
Give in to the animal inside
Move faster, move deeper, claws agleam
As a tail streaks out behind to complete the scene
I'm a formless shadow, are these spots or stripes?
Give into the animal inside
Wind in the face, in the fur, claws swipe
An orange fire, burning in the forest of midnight...

Tiger, orange fire burning within me
In a formless forest at midnight
Your eyes glint with mischief, fullbright
We're lost in a hall of mirrors tonight
You want me but do I want this?
Don't know whether to purr or to hiss
My naked dream, burning, flaming bright
Amid the trees of the night, the truth lies...

Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls.
