you said it was night inside my heart, it was. you said it should tear a kid apart, it does.

i wasn't aware of this fire inside
that burns wild like forests in october
with a single match
making green life into ashes
it grows withing
and boils my words
expanding from my head to toes
it clenches my jaw
and sharpens my nails
and turns who looks at her into sand
it digs like your nails on my back
and squeezes like your legs around my head
with words that cut
and looks that kill
we do this all for the thrill
