To Sit and Watch it Burn

To Sit and Watch it Burn

I’ve lit the world on fire,
                I’ve laid our lives down…
                                I’ve decided to watch it burn.

With a single strike,
                a flurry of keys,
                                I dropped the match and sat back.

Together we will sit,
                Together along the curb,
                                We’ll watch our world burn.

Hold my hand,
                Squeeze it tight,
                                Understand that nothing can hurt you.

I hold no regret,
                you shouldn’t either,
                                I am the only culprit.

Traditions laced in blasphemy,
                happiness dripping in sarcasm,
                                Faith lifted by anarchy.

Oh, sweet children,
                oh sweet life,
                                gather round and stay warm.

I’ve lit the world on fire.
                I’ve laid our lives down…
                                Poured gasoline upon the skeletons.
