Our Flames

We find ourselves in the fires That burn away all the lies We told to one another Just to feel alive To claim that we love each other Smoke has risen and clouded the air Which we deeply inhale Sucking it into our lungs As they fill up with ash Turning black inside us An dying flame inside Both of our souls Pulled us together close Enough to see the glow In each others eyes From the depth of our wills We couldn't turn away Being beside each other Causes sparks to cut deep inside And it was only a matter of time Before all the pain That was inflicted on each other Grows to hot,even for our flames These days have brought about A wave of chaotic irrationalizations And maddness of the mind Most of us walk around With blinders on Choosing to deny Our intoxicated downfall Our flaws and imperfections We just blame on someone else You can almost watch it spread This sickness infecting our thoughts Can't we see we're making no sense Rhyme, or reason Change has come We are slowly spinning Out of control Losing our morals,values And dignity of self worth
