Fire
I present myself in false lighting
Though my sanity
Occasionally gets the better of me
I find the stars and your smile my only salvation
That and the rain
The only things I know will never change
And never fail to wash away the pain
Only one can assume the power of a name
Sometimes I wish I had the willpower to change
I have wings yet they are broken
I have so many words that remain unspoken
Sometimes I think there is so much to see
And understand that there is so little left to believe
Love me or hate me
I only respect the ones who appreciate me
For what I have done and where I have been
Every **** up and every sin
The world is over populated with hate and liars
But my only interest
Is in the ones who possess the courage
To play with me..in the ashes and fire
