Fire is a dangerous weapon
as it spreads throughout the darkness
searing every inch of your whole being
I see the charred, smell the burning
but there's no amount of water
that will put out this fire
burning across my skin
leaving welts and blisters
the pain, oh, the pain
it relieves me, it reminds me
I am not numb
I feel the sting as it starts,
the humming in my ear as
the fire rises
as it spreads to places unknown,
an uncharted territory,
unfamiliar with this sensation
I can feel
