Burn Me Down

Burning down, blazing round, I’m the monster in this undying, blame these wounds, and open this sky. Spite this thing of once kindled joy, slaughter forth, and live this line. Taste my flaw, linger on edges sharp and tainted, burn me round, blaze me down and shake the pain away. I’m the wrong, that’s the wrathful, kill my exist and bury these memories. I the monster, these are the claws, murder me and live away, burn me down, twist me out and turn around. Pull the gun to life, shake the frustrate, watch the show unfold, murder me under the moon oh so a glow. Forfeit, give way, forget and hate me. I’m the end to this dreading day, nightmare this and burn me away. Burn me down, blazing round, kill and bury, die and live, roar until there is no end. I the wrong, you the right, I the cruel, you the never-ending song.   Forever live on and on.
