Suck in the flame

by Arkon   Sep 12, 2005


I'm learning ways to not feel
And I hear your footsteps
I watch the fire make my skin peel
Close my mouth now as it all falls under it's own flame and engulfs the rest.

As I Inhale what I know isn't air
I don't think I could really care.
Sitting down here I wait for it under the stairs
And it crashes down without sparking a scare

I won't fall for it this time
You got me this time and I can't find a way out
Sometimes it's ok to just die
Not that it would matter, the flames muffle my shouts.

I walk onto your drive way like an unknowning standerby
I watch for a minute and think about the people tonight that are going to die
Now I'm in your basement, and the promise is on the floor in black and white
And I'm looking for something to light

When you are asleep I'll come upstairs.
I'll leave you a note when you smell the smoke.
It says leave if you're still here open the door and strike out like a flair
But you were too late and I locked the doors with ropes

I screamed you a song to tell you what's in store
I could here you coming closer from the sound the floorboards, that's what they're for
A quick flick of the light's to reveal nothing more
Means a quick return to your midnight snore

I decided this is the last one my friend
Tell them I'm sorry for this
I drop the paper carrying the end
I'm sure you didn't put this on your list.

Now I'm just spacing out again
I'm about to incinerate, my friend
If I try hard enough I pretend
That all these flames don't hurt, all they do is blend

And what to do with the gas that is merely surplus
I realize this is it, so I decide to flood my death pit
I'm ankle deep in this stuff
But all I can do is find a corner in which I sit

Well you're not safe when the flames couldn't be tamed
I sleep in melted pools of lies of being killed in my own game
And when all I see is fire and rain
All I want to see is these colors hit the can and go insane

And they do tonight, without a sound
Not a kiss goodbye to twist this hell
But in this hell was no room for what they found
It never made the floor when the roof fell

What I felt I couldn't take
Another reason to rest to wake
Well we can't get out for god's sake
So we're stuck inside with this place, sealed with our own fate.

The reflection of my killer in my eyes
Doesn't strike me fear at all
Neither does the fact that I'm about to die
But as soon as I do, as do they all

It burns having butane on my skin
This broken city sky can't display what I have to show within
In this moment I unlock the lid
And the explosion burns off all the skin, it reaches in and the real killer begins

So let this hell burn down straight up
Strike this sin and let it begin
It's live or die and you're one exit short
I can't help but laugh in my death
At your helpless point to catch your breath
Don't bother heading for a door
It's only going to be more
And as I'm smiling in my misery
It's hell on earth burning you alive and to me it's free liberty

Run as far as you can
You'll just set fire again
No matter how hard you try
Whatever you do
You are going to die

My ultimate goal to kill you slow
Let it burn to let you know
Can you feel your blood boil
I told you it wasn't a good idea to expose your lies to oil.
