she's been different since the flame in her eyes got snuffed out;
they say it's heartbreak but i think a better word is hibernation.
she lights up and ***** smoke into her deepest, darkest corners
but it's not quite the same as a fire in her own hearth.
and maybe the whiskey burns her throat the same way
the words she spit to defend her ideas did
but sparks haven't flown from her voicebox in a long time.
god **** she gave a whole new meaning to carrying a torch for that boy
but now her life is going up in flames.
and wouldn't you think, after that, those substance burns
would be a hell of a lot less dangerous than going supernova.
eventually, every wildfire burns itself out.
