oh no
here we go again
sand is getting in my hair
but I just can't seem to care
the fire crackles and pops
and the drinking just won't stop

so much drama
and fake laughter
I light the ***** on the end of the chains
I have always loved being surrounded by flame
the rush of adrenaline, the night that surrounds
the light that illuminates me, I can't hear anything but the sound

of the blaze, in my hazy daze, I count the ways
that my favorite element surprises me
it uses all the senses
claims no pretenses
but demands respect and understanding

as the third empty bottle falls
eventually nature will call
you see me sneak off to the cliff
come hold my hand and spark a spliff
the blend of getting so cross-faded
and memories get me quite jaded
your laugh brings me out of reality
and your sloppy smile so genuinely silly
tripping over our feet
the flowers smelling so sweet
we crash, embrace, and kiss
taken away from this moment
in our corner of bliss
