No Heat, No Burn

Hey there little fire, my little flame,
Speak to me, tell me your name?
You dance and twist, put on a show,
But who are you, from so long ago?
I loved your passion, your hot desire,
But these days, your just a liar,

Flame with no heat,
Fire with no burn,
Your lights just for show,
Why did you let it all go?

You burned so bright, unyielding light,
You spread so distant,  None could resist it,
Then you lost your way, Yourself you betray,
Forgot your name, got lost in the game,
Became the shame and more of the same,

Flame with no heat,
Fire with no burn,
You let the ember dwindle,
Is there anything left to kindle?

You remember the crackle, the pop?
The sensation of domination no one could stop,
You remember the blood pumping, heart beating?
The sound of a chest pound with no retreating,
Push and ignite, stand and fight,
Yell and incite, Just fucking write!

Flame with no heat,
Fire with no burn,
You conformed and adhered,
and became what you feared,

Pages lay blank with a deafening roar,
The flame has no name, it's not here anymore.
