Gasoline For You to Breathe

Someday I'll be the gasoline
running through your cars,
or maybe I'll power your rocketship
and blast you up to Mars.

My body will be broken down,
floating through the air.
Darling, won't you love me then?
No, you won't know I'm there.

You'll breathe me in through your lungs,
just a vapor on the breeze.
Swirling with the raindrops,
mixed in with grass and trees.

Perhaps you will forget me,
scarely remember my words.
I'll work hard to paint you a sunset,
just so my memory is heard.

I'll warm you in your houses,
flicker as a light.
My body will be gone, my darling,
but spirit still in sight.

Someday I will be nothing,
nothing's all I'll ever be.
Aspiring to keep you alive,
and that's just fine with me.
