Firey Agony Silently

Please excuse my putrid frame Clutching my face as I collapse My eyes glaring red into my grasp Silent violence Ever bleeding in a garden Like a burning violet Within myself I am hiding But nothing seems real It's all so surreal Fire in flower fields That's just the way It feels It dies as soon as it flies So hold me as the images creep back into my eyes I've burned up my beauty Turned my dreams to ash Gone is everything I once had In the flames I dance Grasping for the embers of my past I'm a mosaic made of shattered glass And still you trust the fool in the flames Flailing failing burning bleeding crying smiling Dancing with knives in his eyes And bloody fists full of butterflies And for that I have thanks Ill grin and bear it till my teeth break
