Fire

youre back with your excuses

we're all victims of our environment but youre not a tree and im not a bird

im supposed to be a human being and so are you

and yet you speak with the whisper of a rain on a hot summer day

and it grows and it grows and you become a torrent of water raining down and flooding me

with your indignation and your self righteousness

and im so busy minding the storm that i dont realize that im changing

i spend so much time closing the windows and preparing for the wreckage that i forget

the monster inside, the monster created by birth and tragic happenings

and i forget what im capable of

and your storms wind whips me up into a fire and feeds me with its oxygen and i burn

you see im normally a smolder

a campfire abandoned by those who are my origin

and i give light and heat to those who tend me

you give water and life to those who surround you

but water and fire never mix do they?

you feed me and feed me

and blame me

theres no need for fire with electricity around but water cannot be replaced

it it werent for you id have burned the worlds to the ground

there you go again, fixing my mistakes

and we argue and argue

stupid conversations that are never solved but then the campfire is left unattended with plenty of wind

from your stupid storm and it spreads and grows and spreads and grows

and fire has to remind you that i created this world for her

and i gave her warmth and i shielded her from the world

and you gave her water necessary for survival but it makes us cold

but the problem with fire and water is that water always wins

water extinguishes fire

and even though you made me what i am

i can never beat you

but water sinks ships and water drowns

and water suffocates fire in such a tragic way

you suffocate me in such a tragic way

with your excuses and indignation

and you put out the fire you created and flood the area

so i cannot burn, i cant keep her warm

i cant protect her from you when you're stupid, stupid water
