We are transcendent.

Drivin by golden flames of passion.

Warming us from the inside out.

Walk through the fire

The flames will only burn you if you fear the fire

The burn only hurts if your afraid of the pain

You must walk into your fears

they had lungs for you, but for me, broken skin.

Ablaze right before my eyes,

Crisping my brain to ash black,

As I feel I might be going insane.

The fire devours at me,

And jerks tears from my sockets,

My entire body ripple with jitters,

My thoughts like the scattering embers.

Overwhelmed is all I can feel,

And all I can do is curse myself,

For my reaction being so fierce,

Over something so friendly.

I hate this...

Heed my warning: those who tempt the flames get burnt

Those who attempt to outshine the sun will soon learn their worth

Those who fly too high will often meet the earth

How does the swine taste?

Do his boots leave prints...

Fire

It is a beautiful item

The colors that’s in

Burns bright in your soul

It’s what keeps you alive and going

Ready to fight when needed

It’s never going away until you die

Cause fire is like your lifeline

Shines as bright as it can when your born

But over time fades away

Until there is nothing left

Don’t treat it as a weapon

My body is Centralia:

If you hang around long enough

You’ll see smoke escaping crevices

The roaring flames hissing

Through my rib cage

The population dwindles, most recognize

The danger of living there,
