Fire

consuming all the fire burns unaware of how we yearn..... waking up my heads on fire consumed with thoughts my only desire to understand the world i see to hold a hand who understands me A hand to hold a hand to heal im none too bold i drown in fear shaking fingers convulsing mind here i linger trapped in my design created this with my own brain simple bliss kill the pain numb the soul lose the sight lost my goal yet i still fight with all my strength ill never yield ill go the length ill hold the shield lost in the trees a setting sun will set on me nowhere to run i hold no glory no famous tale i wont be sorry ill drive the nail ill find you where your body fell your mind is near but im in hell lost to you lost to them found by me im wearing thin consuming all here i burn unaware of how i yearn.
