My city on fire

I watch as it burns

I turn my lantern off

It’s no longer of use

The dancing flames

Give me all the light I need

My city on fire

I watch as it burns

I turn my tv off

It’s no longer needed

The flickering flames

Entertain me plenty

My city on fire

I watch as it burns

I turn my mind off

And lean back in my chair

The hungry flames

Push past my door

My city on fire

I watch as it burns

Yes, I set it

No, I don’t regret it

The wild flames

Can have it all

My city’s on fire

And now so am I

I don’t scream

I don’t cry

I let the flames

Consume me

It couldn’t have ended any other way

The flames are a part of me I can’t deny

So really, there’s nothing left to say

Except goodbye
