Hell

You always have something to say
How I look
What I say
What I do
How I tell

You put me in Hell
And hold heaven over my head
Like a halo
Though; it's solely to distract me
from the catastrophe
From the flames
licking at my feet
I feel them steadily creeping
          up                       up

             up                 up

                    up
Now they're searing my calf
oh but still
I hold fast to you

I look into your big brown eyes
I plead to you
you have the water
to put out the flames
that scar and maim
mar my skin
I'll never live
they'll kill me
burn me alive


But you stand there and watch
as my charred skin falls apart
