World On Fire

A taste

heavy on my tongue

Horizon lines.

Another time.

A heart

beats in my ribcage.

Tearing at the seams.

Wish this was just a dream.

A home

bleached out by the sun.

A bed we made

full of salt and ache.

A child

fills its mouth with dirt

and takes my hand.

Help me understand.

And I won't stop.

I'm never gonna stop.

I'm never gonna stop till I die.

And they won't stop.

They're never gonna stop

Till the whole damn world's on fire.

We cracked

the very hull of the Earth

with a fist for a heart.

Is this how it starts?

A quest.

Chasing down fake gold.

The folly of our age.

Oh my god what a waste.

And I won't stop.

I'm never gonna stop.

I'm never gonna stop till I die.

And they won't stop.

They're never gonna stop

Till the whole damn world's a divide

And I won't stop.

I'm never gonna stop.

I'm never gonna stop till I die.

And they won't stop.

They're never gonna stop

Till the whole damn world's on fire.
