I'll Start

a__pott

Dark wooden lines 

that I’m hiding behind

are the ones that make up my door.

 

Go ahead laugh it off.

I hear voices screaming stop.

What really happened I’m not sure.

 

Blood turns my cheeks red

from the things I did and dread...

I don’t cross the bridge in my head.

 

I cry when I don’t need to,

and I’m hungry when I feed you.

It all makes me wish I was.   Enough said.

 

So the explosion erupts and tears us all up,

and I was the one who ignited the spark.

I get bored and just wanna have fun

If you ignite me I’ll start.

 

I pick up my glass 

when I have time to pass,

but I didn’t know it would break and cut you.

 

The same injury from shards

left me the same scars,

but this time from my mirror they flew.

 

Even I will say

we grow out of these things,

and I’m trying my hardest,

but I’ve forgotten where my heart is.

 

And I can’t see a finish line,

but this race is being timed.

It grabbed my leg and I fell.

 

I’d guess by now you’ve won

like you said you’ve done,

but it’s hard to say cuz I don’t know you that well.

 

So the explosion erupts and tears us all up,

and I was the one who ignited the spark.

I get bored and just wanna have fun.

If you ignite me I’ll start...

 

a war.
