Let the flames consume me Swallow me whole Hellfire brings life To my deadened senses It used to be you Maybe there’s a correlation To this thrilling sensation I feel most alive When prepared to expire Please, keep me here Release these fears I don’t know warmth All I know is fire or ice Why do I feel old At such a youthful age? Young me down Dumb me down Numb me down What was wrong before Is still what’s wrong today Sometimes I just won’t say What it is to you kids Thanks, but move on You hurt more than help Though, helping more than hurting Pains me much, still Don’t assume so many things Give your eyes a break Put down your stone Shoot your high horse Chop up that pedestal Become low and lesser Then maybe you can hear me Between the shouting And the lashing The tears and the blood The putdowns to build up Until the once built Have crumbled to your consent What’s my content? For you to complete the job Most business is unfinished, But you’ll complete this task You were contracted since, “Hello.” Sad, I know, but Don’t be sociable otherwise Get over it Burn me, burn them Burn you, burn friends, Burn whomever, whatever Just leave ashes, dust, Smoke, smog, haze, regrets
