raining fire

from the depths, i'll try to explain  
that this is just a different kind of pain  
i tear my thoughts apart, shove the pieces down my throat  
hiding the demeaning things that i wrote
but the words, they just wont go away  
it seems this emptiness is here to stay  
 
escape is my new desire  
but it's raining, raining fire  
the earth is closing  
closing around me  
escape is my only desire  
but there's only one way out and it's raining, raining fire  
 
this not feeling thing  
is a new kind of pain  
it stands in my way  
blocking my escape  
and all the while  
i try to swallow, but my mouth fills with bile  
polluted with the bitter taste of crumbling ashes, i try not to scream  
and now the demon has me  
it's hands around my neck  
like a vise....my soul shattering in the wreck  
as i lay face down on the ground  
i still can't bring myself to make a sound  
as the fire within me wakes  
manifesting from my own mistakes  
my very essence explodes  
through a series of encrypted codes  
leaving me an empty shell  
to fight my way through a new kind of hell  
 
escape is my new desire  
but it's raining, raining fire  
the earth is closing  
closing around me  
escape is my only desire  
but there's only one way out and it's raining, raining fire
