Fire sparks along the walls of my gut. Smoke pours from mouth—the cries I tried to release, gone. Lies lies lies lies and excuses, there’s a burning in my stomach. I feel words wither on my tongue As yours overpower and overwhelm. Questions asked About every word. I’ll set it on fire I’ll set it all on fire. Coals to your wisdom, Embers to your truth. I’ll set it on fire. Stop asking me And doubting me And lying. I’ll set it all on fire.

Set it on Fire
Fire sparks along the walls of my gut. Smoke pours from mouth—the cries I tried to release, gone. Lies lies lies lies and excuses, there’s a burning in my stomach. I feel words wither on my tongue As yours overpower and overwhelm. Questions asked About every word. I’ll set it on fire I’ll set it all on fire. Coals to your wisdom, Embers to your truth. I’ll set it on fire. Stop asking me And doubting me And lying. I’ll set it all on fire.
