Internal Arson -

I fear desire and its warm embrace

Some might call me a liar, but I prefer a saint

And like the shadows, I stay away from the light

No matter where I go, Im haunted by the darkness in my life

I can’t go back, because I’ll never want to leave

The fire between the cracks will burn me to my knees

The sky goes black and the forest reveals my pain

All hope is turned to ash from the trees now wreathed in flame

How could I be guilty of giving in to lust?

Does instinct betray me now, with nowhere left to place my trust?

Satisfy my alibi, and say what needs to be said

Just enough to sell the lie, long before I almost end up dead

My words have drown me, choking on my lies

The laughter that disguised me has now turned into cries

Im wandering lost now, astray without a home

Never to be found, I truly am alone
