the world suffers and burns
with scars never ending
I stand back
and light another match
one day they’ll understand
I may be
the key to ending your pain
or the scapegoat that begs
for more
you never wanted to be so free
and I always wanted
to be like you
but you laughed, you mocked
so I will kill, I will chalk up
every last pint of blood
to your undying fidelity
don’t remember me for centuries
because you won’t last so long
just touch me for a moment
so you know I’m real
and so
was the pain you caused me
