Fire 02:43
This life has sucked you dry your an empty little cup You spend every drudging moment trying to fill yourself up A brilliant wildfire, waiting for someone to release it But Infinity overflows the thoughts that think it Shake the hand of unbridled freedom, now you’re a slave to passion A never-ending circus of irrational actions Martyr to your senses, marching into a sea of desire, Knowing it may kill you, yet nonetheless inspired Set yourself on fire Set yourself on fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fiiiiiiiiiiirrrreeee When there’s nothing left to burn You have to set yourself on fire! You may detest, Say the ashes of your actions left you a misanthropic wreck You may hide under your covers, and feel you failed the test But let forest of your failures fuel that fire beneath your breast Cause the black smoke will rise you, free you and revive you, The burning of the firebird births a firebird anew, A kerosene ablution, your both the shroven and the shriver When there’s nothing left to burn you have to set your self on fire Set yourself on fire Set yourself on fire Fire Fire Fire Fire Fiiiiiiiiiiirrrreeee When there’s nothing left to burn You have to set yourself on fire!

The Road Less Travelled Intro The winters a splinter in my mind That shivers down my spine Telling me its time to go down south And so the calendar is bleeding Seasons screaming for a meaning The cold wind reminds us our time is running out So we put the car in drive To prove that we’re alive If we ever stop moving we may cease to exist Cause We have this disorder Where We have to cross the boarders When We don’t my feet start to itch How can you escape? A life condemned to run in place Trapped in a torrid, it matters not the pace your run Because the lines on the maps Are a freshly woven trap These cities are spiders, how thirst for our blood. Break The malleability of life Leaks little liquid lights It will both grace you and bring you to your knees Cause your heart is an animal, Beautiful yet fallible Still all good things are wild and free Though the years will whittle you down until you’ll die Don’t turn your back on your own life Remember everyone’s an exile, a refugee, a wretch Running from someone or something Pulling meanings out of nothings Stealing Liberation from hopelessness is not simple theft Were resentful were resilient Were beautiful were brilliant Thriving between the cracks of this world OH how it’s cracking! Drifting in and out of meaning And the feeling is so freeing We can be anything we want without having to be anything Break I will not be muzzled Trying to figure out this puzzle Curiosity killed the cat and now its coming for me! Life’s a candid godless mess But still must profess I’m still searching for the operator of this machine! I’ve get towns stuck between my toes As I go skipping down the road Though I know something isn’t right There still something missing or Something more worth wishing for And I will search for it for the rest of my life The road less travelled is beautiful and bedazzled Your life is a wildfire just waiting to ignite! But no heat will ever satisfy, Those flames that call from beneath your eyes So I’ll be searching for a better way to burn through this world for the rest of my liiiiiiiiiiife

The sadness of the swamp V1. The skeletons have come out of the closet Bones brittle but honest Now they’re waltzing around the living room Why they dance were unsure Its so wretched so horrid They dance downtrodden the doom They yearn to be alive Have light fill their eyes And their bones once more with flesh upon it I raise them from the dead But you cut off their heads And send them back to the closet Our seeds sown we do reap Are the secretes we keep They drain the light from the room; now black as a pit Trapped and afraid Trying to escape But your phantasms have sealed the exits V2. Your specter comes dirging down the stairs With your dead-eyed vacant stare Displacing my figure you recall who I am I call out your name But your deaf, blind and lame You say “now to slaughter a lamb” You opened your mouth A demon crawled out Grinning: “I’m going to kill you” I begged him to stop I was praying to god He said: “there’s no god in this room” I could tell he took pleasure As he bound me with leather He whistled a little tune I was squirming and twisting I begged to keep living He said: “the only life worth living is one that will kill you” V3. It was a torture I cannot describe He pulled the life from my eyes He took his sweet time working up to my heart He abused it, he squeezed it He refused to release it Till I vowed to let it be fill with your Dark Then like a black lotus budding That darkness came flooding I was consumed by the sadness of our swamp He opened my throat And like that I was a ghost He said: “now this is your house to haunt” And so now I’m cursed forever To haunt the house of my ex-lover And listen to that demon’s insufferable tune And the words that he said To ring in my head “The only life worth living is one that will kill you” “The only love worth having is one that will kill you”

You’re an… Impulsive romantic, making this tragic Conundrum—a panic, Run back where you come from Entangled in havoc? This a manic Joke; and it’s shallow Humor for the gallows Your Unforgivably miserable, Pitiful, Criminal Fuck ups are fictional So sit down and shut up cause your friends love you It’s a long climb up and a much shorter fall down! Please don’t fall down You come in guns blazing Music is blasting Going stir crazy So fucking fantastic Ready for anything Ready for everything Lets get a bottle Then lets go birding Cause this town is ours And this is our life And for now things seem small But they’ll grow bigger you’ll be off doing bigger better things Enjoy your little life while it’s still little! It’s a long climb up and a much shorter fall down Please don’t fall down

The flowers felt like frozen fireworks Fleeing the ground as the spring rolled on to us Saying this will be the year we’ve been waiting for If we can only learn how to become ourselves Spent all winter in this solitary confinement You built to protect you, now your rotting inside of it A sad scared animal trying to escape it’s self It will feel like a prison break when we finally forgive ourselves Cause trying to turn your back On the people, who made you who you are... is like Trying to turn your back on your own life Open the blinds, go outside, breath in the air, Spring his here, let the winter melt You can be anyone you want to, but first you must forgive yourself Call your friends, let them in, Try to laugh, don’t be afraid to ask for help You can be anyone you want to, but first you must forgive yourself Outside your window, the world’s plotting against you Inside your blood, swims a fish that sedates you Set Fire to the part of you leaving you paranoid and pacified Kick down your door and go the fuck outside And were all caught between, past and future dreams Trying to be who we are, while knowing who we want to be Getting dirt on your hands is just part of growing things So I think today I will go plant some sunflower seeds Cause trying to turn your back On the people, who made you who you are... is like Trying to turn your back on your own life Open the blinds, go outside, breath in the air, Spring his here, let the winter melt You can be anyone you want to, but first you must forgive yourself Call your friends, let them in, Try to laugh, don’t be afraid to ask for help You can be anyone you want to, but first you must forgive yourself

Born into beautiful confusion more than anything in existence Existence likes to exist, so let’s pretend Someone expectantly clarified clarity in a chemical pregnancy Come sit next to me bear the tragedy It’s pretend it’s pretend x2 Till I saw your face till I saw your face Not pretend, not pretend X2 When I saw your face Wash your cloths Change your life Break your bones Fight or flight Sell yours soul Change your mind It’s a chemical It’s Black Magic It’s a chemical It’s black Magic

Fear is a beast, don't let it eat you You'll get stuck between it's teeth and I promise they will crush you Swallow you, digest you, and finally go and shit you Fear is a horrifying monster, holly fuck don't let it eat you Cause every day your not living you are quickly dying From a life of trying to put out fires so tired of trying In this place where poor decisions and consequences keep colliding Everyday you don't let yourself live... you are dying Go hold hands with a stranger, they may really need it Tell them that you love them, but really mean it It's not just for them, whens the last time you said it? Go hold hands with someone you don't know you never know how it could save them Then throw you life into what you believe in If you don't you'll never be nothing Get rid of all those things that hold you back because you don't need them then through your life into whatever it is that you believe in I tried, I'm tired. of putting out Fires.
