Fireside Blues
All out of matches.

Can you find the light?
The Lighter
Inhale the burn and run
On sunny days in the sweltering heat
A game of hopscotch in Lucifer's playground
************
Can you see beyond the smoke?
Clouds of dust to wash your face
A wildfire frees itself and keeps your meadow glowing
The stream is but a trickle
****************
Can you hope for rescue?
Poisoned by the flame
Red rage finds your heart
The sweats of yellow fever
An orange agony
******************
What did you wish for?
When breathing for your dreams
Fireworks kiss your soul
The embers tease hello good bye
But nothing burns forever
******************
Cold charcoal makes itself at home
Ashes to ashes
Lights out
The party's over now
Save some candles for the living
