...

A fire begins with a joyous spark
This spark dances and mingles like a drunken frat boy
Ignition to flame changes the meaning
Warmth and light as the parasite consumes
It seems odd that such destruction has so many benefits

But now I realize the scintillation isn't merely in my head
It's a vacuum to the air I'm breathing and all around me is chaos
People are screaming for their lives and for others' and yet
All I can do is wipe the sweat from my brow
Is this the apathy I have for the world?

So I lay down and the heat comforts me
I don't even notice that I'm slipping away
Everything now are embers and ash
And with my final breath I call out
But there is no one to hear
