I am a flame
Fed off of oil and gas
Today the rain pours
And somehow I do not go out
Somehow, I stay alive
I am drowning
But my embers are rising
Why don't I feel angered
Why don't I care
The little sparks
Are nothing no more
For I don't feel the water
I don't feel anything
Maybe that's what I'm supposed to be
Heartless, Cruel
Because I am
Nothing more than an
Extinguished Flame
