The flames, they appeal
In a sick, twisted way
They flicker as bright
As the light of day
Don't say I'll get burned
It will only excite me
Each scar I have earned
Is vile and unsightly
I tried to fly
And fell to the ground
Where these broken wings
Have held me down
So now I must go,
Chin up, standing tall
Into the flames
Where I've tried not to fall
Each moment that passes
Is another regret
Time moves like molasses
Slow and unmet
When will this end
When will I get a break
I'll stop this myself
There's no more you can take
I'll take my own life
Into my hands
Don't tell me I'm wrong
Don't give me commands
So now I must go,
Chin up, standing tall
Into the flames
Where I've tried not to fall.
