Fire

Red is the fire Red just like me

It burns down the trees I burn everything I see I burn down the bridges, The webs, The seas and the trees The fire consumes me, Touching all That I breathe I feel its fingers, Burning something in me

And I cant get it back, There’s nothing to see The fire burns the trees And the trees, the trees, the trees, They don’t say a thing Just bear it silently In silence Hurting me And the trees while they burn I just sit there and turn Watching the world The world I have burned
