Burned

Hiss, Hiss, Snap goes the lighter And he walks ahead Just like a fighter Click, Click, kaching goes the money And he leaves with his poison Why am I laughing? This isn't funny But I can't help but laugh, laugh, laugh My face hurts My mind is starting to drift And boom! Something bursts I'm the boss of me And I'm not so right What do I do I'm losing my own fight Who is this? This isn't me I can't believe what I see Hiss, hiss, snap goes the lighter And he passes it round Down, down, down, goes the fighter We all make a sound Crash, crash, crash We are heading Burn, burn, burn, we are burning But, no one is learning What did I do? What was I thinking? I can't believe I wanted to I'm the boss of me And I'm not so right What do I do? When I let myself lose sight Who is this? Who is she? What did I do? Is this me?
