red, white, & blue

i was never able to achieve my personal spark.
i was too concerned with relationships, filling the hole instead of repairing.
being a scenic drive, i was quite excited.
i'm still looking for my own spark,
when around me is couples creating their own spark together, making me feel like i'm destined to be alone.
it's just a touch of arson that i had in mind, the typical American dream.
causing arson together while only being days away from house arrest.
but there is never a single question.
we're just supposed to wake up, work, sleep, and repeat.
to achieve and trade paper for necessities,
a typical grocery store visit for the atypical,
putting our extreme fear of fire aside-
i want you to be my saviour,
my red white and blue.
i want my spark to be created with you.
