Tell me,
have you ever used fire
as your drug?
Oh
the heat sends shivers down my spine.
I take those flames
and down them,
drinking in the smoke for sustenance
and the sparks for a high.

until you've taken in embers
from a cigarette and smoked those
instead of nicotine.
So tell me
if you've lived before
with tongues of fire and iron
scorching down your throat.
