Emotions inside boil and bubble,
And when our tact melts,
Boy you're in trouble,
A sulphuric tirade with a tongue made of flame,
Heat like the sun, one and the same,
This is the one, the one way to burn,
For a cold saviour I'm sure you yearn,
To save you from the stifling heat,
Scorching, writhing, burning away,
Melting at the fiery picture I portray
And my own words melt my charred insides,
As I bite my tongue and the anger subsides,
Now my one way to burn has turned upon me,
I'm up in a blaze my blood like a sea,
Turned into lava for the sinner that I be,
My single way to burn came just from here,
A place that is burnt, all the entrances seared,
My soul full of burning emotions,
Fiery anger and consumating greed,
A spark and some room is all that I need,
Before I combust,
And drag us both down,
Into a body of fire,
We scorch as we drown.
