I'Ll Burn For It

We fan the flames We fuel the fire We count the days We chase desire With the bottle in my hand And the pills on the counter Music playing in my ear The voices growing even louder While the hair on my arms Starts to stand a little straighter Then the beats in my chest Begin to pound ever greater Now the fear in my mind Starts to peek around the corner Until the tingle in my spine Reflects the pain of my disorder Ever careless Ever beaten Every day Though, still, we keep love Even after everything We fan the flames Either way, I'll burn for it D.R.L.
