Burn

You play with fire

Yet you're afraid to get burned

You're situation is dire

What about the lessons you 'learned'

-

You wanna try me

But cower when I blink

My eyes contain armies

Don't you ever think?

-

You try

You fail

You cry

You wail

You die

I unveil

-

For I'm phlegmatic

My username would agree

Meet me in the attic

Or in a never ending sea

-

So you can sink forever

For all of eternity

You shouldn't endeavor

You should just let me be

-

The armies in my eyes will speak for themselves

I don't have to say a word

You've seen me stacking skeletons on shelves

Don't act like you've never been hurt

-

When will you learn to respect your master

You can try running, but I'll always run faster

You can stay but I won't promise not to kill

The thought of your life makes me ill

Yet I keep you alive in this life you've instilled

So I can play games with you for the thrill

Of making you feel the fear you always will

-

My brain's full of ashes and scorn

When I see you wear a face you've never worn

You start charging at the thorns

Till all of you is filled with rips; you're torn

-

Now you're dead

Should've listened to what I said

You complain that life wasn't fair

That you didn't ask for the scars you wear

-

But you lied

You still haven't died

You've always cried

And always tried

-

To no avail

Time to sail

Across the sea you're sinking in

Let my words sink in

It's time to start thinkin'

It's time to get burned
