Succumbing to numbing sensations of fire

I suffocate self for the sake of the flame

while longing for strength I had the day prior

 

by polishing stones as I drown in satire

I tie off the wait of a life without aim

succumbing to numbing sensations of fire

 

I contemplate things I can never acquire

and beg of this world that it share in my shame

while longing for strength I had the day prior

 

Discerning the cries of what lies in desire

I can't help but feel that all truth is a game

succumbing to numbing sensations of fire

 

Admonishing self against all I admire

I seek to make change and I try to reclaim

while longing for strength I had the day prior

 

Pragmatic the pyro that lights his own pyre

as I speak with demons, I call them by name

succumbing to numbing sensations of fire

while longing for strength I had the day prior
