Match

working out my issues
I’m playing in the filth
smote by the heavens
a five-star stay in hell
drowning in the madness
a world filled with sheep
I seen too many truths
guess it’s true what they say
ignorance is bliss
I can’t tell myself that lie again

and like a flower you bloom
take all of this pain from me
try to keep me calm
even when I’m wrong
running from the dark
you’re my only light


walking the streets at night
call me Mr. Dracula
for this is my home
sometimes the thrill
makes me feel like I’ll never die
a twisted sick joke
that keeps my heart burning
and my mind twisted
trying to cure it at the strip club
having the grime rub up against me

and like a flower you bloom
take all of this pain from me
try to keep me calm
even when I’m wrong
running from the dark
you’re my only light


self medicate
but it’s never enough
opportunities fall in my lap
why must I take a match?
burn it all up
slap away every helping hand
but one
you’re my only hope
