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
