    beat flame


throw your old self into the flames,
make the embers grow from sacrificed ha*e.
let the smoke of slow progression
march across the sky as we lie prostrate.
give up posesseion of your fears,
they were never yours from the start.
make a new beginning from depression,
let the Genesis be a Genocide of despair in your heart.
tear down the factories building tears of sorrow
and lend a hand to those who hire the lovely.
what good is a city full of people who who
pity themselves and despise the youth who are happy?
cherish those who appreciate this life,
encourage those who want to take theirs,
for long after i have gone by the wayside,
these elements will remain for those who care.

run with me to the frigid outside
and we'll catch the falling ash in our mouths like snow.
i'll hold your hand in growing unity,
look in your eyes and our hearts will know.
they will say to us "heres your life,
you can give it or take it,
but plan accordingly, for life comes but once."
and sometimes life is awckward, so make it fit.
listen close to these words from the wise
maybe one day we'll figure out the goal and what is the prize.

now im alone, but not lonely like before
