Was expecting to see
What could never be
The final respite of a hopeful little lie
Plagiarize
Desire in your eyes
It shifts me
Removes me
To someplace I don't recognize
Under the firelight
Rendered in triple digits Fahrenheit
Exponential degrees tonight
In superficial guise
Driving
Running
Crying
This isn't working
The light isn't chasing
Behind me is nothing
But I can feel everything burn away
The flames take a shape
I recognize
Heart rate triple digits behind my eyes
Blood pressure
Continues to rise
White hot visceral ischemic blight
My first mistake
Was forgetting to brake
Can't remember why I thought it would help
But never mind it's much too late
Release the wheel and accept this fate
Find myself someplace
I've been before
Without the firelight
I might as well close my eyes
And feel the ashes raining from the sky
Driving
Running
Crying
This isn't working
The light isn't chasing
Behind me is nothing
But I can feel everything burn away
The flames take a shape
I recognize
Heart rate triple digits behind my eyes
Blood pressure
Continues to rise
White hot visceral ischemic blight
