The Fire Within

The Fire Within Barkeep....another Without ice A double whiskey It goes down nice Feel the fire That gentle heat Barkeep...another And keep it neat A shot of whiskey It's warm not hot You feel the fire The bunring linger Feel the fire From one shot You start out drinking To kill the pain You order one more up Barkeep...again The burning feeling Inside your chest You're still coherent You're at you best Time...it passes Years go by The fire's burning You're gonna die That burning feeling Can't put it out You move from whiskey On back to stout You can not stop it The fire rules Your eye's are red now Red, runny pools What once was pleasant Now burns with pain You can not stop it Barkeep...again You keep consuming It's who you are Half a bottle gone You've gone too far You can not taste it You can not win You can not put out The Fire Within.
