I play with fire
I watch the tips of flames
catch my skin
I see the ashes forming
and I breathe them in

I have a devil inside of me
whispering to me
fueling me
am I made of blood and bones
or gasoline and tinder

I will set your heart on fire
but
only I rise from the ashes
burden of the phoenix
forever burning
never at peace
