On Fire

breathe in
 kindle the fire
 a new plague now living so deep inside
 this pharaohs found in the mirrors on our walls
 war
 the addicts scream war yet fault is solely self-imposed
 truth or denial hold the options in our heart
 and we choose truth
 combating poisons while the sun still shines upon our lives
 breakdown decide
 just what would it take to be on the other side?
 its within our hearts
 within our mindsets
 within earshot and eyeshot today
 within our skin
 within our framework
 tomorrows there but it might be too late
 its within our hearts
 within our mindsets today
 exhale
 release the sickness
 spitting blood into the eyes of virtue
 blinding choking the ones who want no more
 the goal is modest the consequences more or less honest
 when life or death are the only roads ahead. and we choose life
 combating poisons while the sun still shines upon our lives
 breakdown decide
 give me a vision of whats on the other side
 the past
 the pasts a minefield filled with regret
 quietly we tiptoe watching where
 just where we tread
 and never mind addictive states
 never mind old trends
 tough to fight
 wrong or right
 decisions made are ours tonight
 staring through the window
 the sunlight reflects eyes
 of thousands here before me in different forms of life
 just one time for the pleasure
 now can we stop the pain when centuries of common knowledge
 are hard to rearrange?
 breakdown decide
