I'm Burning

You've made me slip out of my skin
Allowing the itching to sink in
It's pale and supple, 
puckered pink pompous skin
While you're getting bigger
My patience is growing thin

A heart is a heart like a hand is a hand
Blood rushes through
Yet I can't understand

Drawing your weapons in front
A grimace when I hit the sand

Splices in my devices
Maneuvers to disband

I'm scheming,
It's unappealing
The way the flames have gathered me in
You're hopeless
Sturdy but boneless
The way the spite has gathered you in 

Standing tall is a sin 
In a war you can't win
When two against one is a life growing thin
A raging heart roars
A trembling soul shakes
One single word
Is all that it takes

I'm burning, I'm burning
Fuming off the flame
I'm jesting, I'm climbing
Through mountains in a lion's game
A frustrating appeal to a lonely little prison
I'm burning, I'm burning
Maybe now you will listen
