sapphire flame in the head
it's long burned this blood
keeping me warm
as the ashes swarm
long ago i let it seep
pouring from my lips
soon learned it best to hide
else i'd have no pride
it flares deep within
pulsing as a heart
one day it shall come free
and there will be nothing left of me
its leash will snap
then i'll start to laugh
years in the making
salt falling and frame shaking
damage is irreparable
as my performance ends
like arson of the minds
all learning they lived blind
sapphire flame
sure to take the blame
i'll be filled with shame
oh, what a game
