Fire

Don't fight my fire
it's too hot for you
and you'll be burned.

Am I mean?
Sure I'm mean
I'm a mirror
everything you say
everything you do
you see it reflect off me

If you want to see me
You'll have to see yourself first
And when you know who you are
You'll understand who I am

A Deal

Here's the deal
I know how to reframe life
thousands of times

If I don't want to be sad
I won't be
If I don't want you to be sad
I can convince you

But I expect you to never leave me.

Because a man told me once
in this life you'll fight death
you'll fight ignorance
you'll fight purpose
and you'll fight isolation.

But if you've got someone with you
you'll win isolation
your someone will be your purpose
you won't care what you don't know
and when you die, you'll know you lived life properly

Anyone who tries to tell you someone isn't worth it
lies

The only thing that counts in this life
is how you've treated others.

And if you ever turn your back
close your door
shut them out
and lose contact

What does your life count for?

You wasted it.

A Little more

I'm not cut out for this
The TV says it's alright
But the paper shows lies
And documents hidden deep
prove they're right

Just like Justin
I keep turning my head
east, west, north
and there's no one
They're all gone.

I borrow Odin's eye
to see if I can peer at my life
but I see no future
Odin was blind
There's nothing in it for me

Each day I get
A little more desperate
I'm not living
I'm wasting away
And each day I die

The more I read
The more I learn
The more I don't care
That I'm here
And I'm all alone

Is this Dante's Hell
What'd I ever do to get here
I know I'm not a saint
but I don't know
If I'm a sinner either

I try responsibility
But they don't want me
And I carry around these weights
I've got Atlas' shoulders
And I can't bear it

I've gotta get out
But there's only one way
To escape this life
I'm too chicken
To pull the trigger

I'm always running on empty
Fill me up
Make me whole
At least fix my leak
And make me better
