On Fire

breathe in

kindle the fire

a new plague now living so deep inside

this pharaohs found in the mirrors on our walls

war

the addicts scream war yet fault is solely self-imposed

truth or denial hold the options in our heart

and we choose truth

combating poisons while the sun still shines upon our lives

breakdown decide

just what would it take to be on the other side?

its within our hearts

within our mindsets

within earshot and eyeshot today

within our skin

within our framework

tomorrows there but it might be too late

its within our hearts

within our mindsets today

exhale

release the sickness

spitting blood into the eyes of virtue

blinding choking the ones who want no more

the goal is modest the consequences more or less honest

when life or death are the only roads ahead. and we choose life

combating poisons while the sun still shines upon our lives

breakdown decide

give me a vision of whats on the other side

the past

the pasts a minefield filled with regret

quietly we tiptoe watching where

just where we tread

and never mind addictive states

never mind old trends

tough to fight

wrong or right

decisions made are ours tonight

staring through the window

the sunlight reflects eyes

of thousands here before me in different forms of life

just one time for the pleasure

now can we stop the pain when centuries of common knowledge

are hard to rearrange?

breakdown decide
