Firelight

Everything follows relativity Good to evil, chaos to symmetry Thus we must go up and down Riding cycles round and round No lines of tangent; we lounge in our lair Sin's too rampant and we couldn't care The brightest flames grow quickest yet we dwell in pilot light Long gone are the days we raged against that night Does anyone still desire romance? Can all of us live without fire? Why not feel its burning presence and build yourself an empire? We need to break these cycles soon They crush dreams with each turn Don't you want to embrace our doom? Set your flame to make the world burn All we have to do is ride each other's asses Remove those rose glasses and address the masses See the whole world, and wonder what to do Live each moment powerfully and true or Keep resting when you aren't tired And saying go without engine fired Forget those moments you felt complete Keep fearing every small defeat It's impossible to do alone. I've learned it well Actions are so hard to do with no one to tell The next cycle spins and there's far less wins Costs and losses fed by those spreading sins I want to wholly change for the better But without witness, I am no bar-setter
