The one inside (part iii : relief)

My companion through life but what's your name?
I thought I knew…
Whispered in code, in fragments and secrecy
Part by part, forty and counting

Through the pain and the grief
You've been my one and only relief
Cause this town is sad and we like it that way
You're born here, you stay put

What should I call you my dear?
As you set my soul on fire
Burning only to carbonise
But not yet, I'll use you first

You've fed on me I'm almost gone
Time to sin before the dawn
Burning only to carbonise
Time to sin, shine so brightly one last time
