A Vast Ocean of Emotion

Burn

Ashes fall as I try to remember
The things that made me into the person I am today
As I sit and think I can't help but to feel my hopes have all turned to embers
They burn right in front of my eyes
They mimic what my lies have done
To others and to myself
My soul it burns with passion for loathing
My hopes and dreams
They're wearing sheep's clothing
They have ruined my pride
Look what they have done inside
They're like matches to my wick
It makes me feel sick
So light me up
And watch me burn

These lessons that I've learned
Are just things that make me more and more concerned
Why don't you see that there's almost nothing left of me
Because my soul has burned

These chains holding me down are like matches to my flame
Only they make me so worried and tired that I forget my own name

I
Know I need help
But how can I ask someone else to extinguish this fire
That fills me with anguish

Can't you understand
Your words are so bland
I hold them like
Grains of sand
That fall through my hand
That don't even help to stop this abundance of flames
This isn't like another one of their stupid games

So go ahead
Why don't you try
I'll even close my eyes
I'll stop telling lies

Light me up
And watch me burn
