Inferno

I'm scorched at the stake of jealousy
Just burning on through my agony
Taking time to let my insides warm up
Blood is boiling, I'm feeling corrupt

Embers glowing in my hands
I wish that they could understand
How much I hate to feel this way
But their backs are turned, turned away

When they look back, I give them a grin
Like I'm not a full figure of a deadly sin
And when they wonder how I am,
I'll stay ablaze, slaughter to the lamb

Yes, those lambs don't know my touch
You get too close, I'll use your crutch
And as soon as you think I'm too much
I'll be an inferno and you'll be roughed up

Before you get bound up in the smoke,
See the warnings before you choke
Often, you aren't killed by the flames
The fumes are enough to carry you away

Subjecting yourself to my misery
Is where only a few can take my heat
And if you are a lucky one,
I'm glad you wanted to join in the fun

So long, farewell, enjoy yourself
Heal your burns and find someone else
Everyone does that, I'm not surprised
Why you would want to stay inside?
