As You Set Yourself On Fire
You act as if you hadn't a clue
You act as if I hadn't talked to you
You act as if I hadn't tried till in the face I was blue
I did, I tried
I did, but you only sighed
I did,rivers of tears I cried
Why are you such a *******
Why is your agony dispread
Why did you not listen and ended up mislead
I beckoned you to come near
I beckoned you so I could make it clear
I beckoned you but you only looked at me with that sneer
So I let you do it your own way
So I let you become the prey
So I let you crumble in just mere days
Now i'll just set and watch
Now I'll just set while all of it you botch
Now I'll just set as you make another notch
If only you had not just listened but heard
If only you hadn't let things get so blurred
If only you hadn't acted so absurd
I sat and I watched you expire
I sat and I watched as your situation got dire
I sat and I watched as you set yourself on fire
