Forest Fire

Contributed by Exodus on Monday, 28th August 2006 @ 09:35:15 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I followed you into the woods last evening
It was there I learned that seeing was believing

You made me carry a can of gasoline
But, I don't think you know what I mean

I wanted to run and I wanted to hide
I wanted to tell you the truth but I probably lied

And then there came the flames
Seems to me its not important to be on a list of names

Burning, my world is burning
No one stops to think and the world keeps turning

The smoke suffocates the pain away
The fire burns the moments of yesterday

Who I am and what shall I be?
Pyrotechmatic, self destructive, oh me

So you smile, so you frown
You go straight up and end up straight down

Light the fires, waste every good intention you ever had
Things are good, things are bad

And you're hungry, empty like my hello
My mind is wild and yours is mellow

I smile for you, you frown at me
I was faking it, so quite impossibly
