Beside The Dying Fire

Beside The Dying Fire
Lust, dreams, and all desire
Scorched love that once deemed dire
Beside The Dying Fire
Rage
Rage
Rage
Rage

The fire inside can be dangerous
Starts small
But combusts into blazes
Widespread
Desire is contagious
It consumes
That’s when everything changes
Should’ve known
Surely it would come to this
In my mind
Love and passion are venomous
Day and night
Wonder what the difference is
In the fire
Lives my friend or my nemesis
Can’t assume
Hard when it can’t be explained
Make my choices
Just to keep my demons entertained
On a loop
What I said or didn’t say
Moments haunting me
Yet I keep them on replay
Can’t escape
Surely you don’t understand
To give it all
Cease to be a better man
In my hands
I control what’s dire
It’s time to change
Beside The Dying Fire

Some say the world will end in fire
Some say in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire
