Standing in ashes,
I dug up my hatches.
Walked through the fire
and ran for my life.
You held the matches
and gave out the passes
when bad men conspired
to burn down my life.
My lungs taste the smoke.
In fresh air, I choke.
But now I'm fireproof.
Harder lessons aren't learned.
Got a little bit burned.
Turns out I'm fireproof.
You said that my anger
let out a spark
in colours of amber
that lit up the dark.
But you start a wildfire
each time that I cry.
You're fuelled by my fear,
and you're not even trying.
My lungs taste the smoke.
In fresh air, I choke.
But now I'm fireproof.
Harder lessons aren't learned.
Got a little bit burned.
Turns out I'm fireproof.
Send your bullets if they're ready;
take your time, keep your aim steady.
I know you hate to hear the truth -
that I made me bulletproof.
Light your matches, throw the flame.
I won't ever be the same.
It's a kind and careful truth.
Did you know I'm fireproof?
My lungs taste the smoke.
In fresh air, I choke.
But now I'm fireproof.
Harder lessons aren't learned.
Got a little bit burned.
Turns out I'm fireproof.
Standing in ashes,
I dug up my hatches.
Walked through the fire
and ran for my life.
Worth a burn
to know the truth.
Lesson learned:
I'm fireproof.
'Fireproof' - 16/03/23.
You said that my anger let out a spark in colours of amber that lit up the dark.
