Where did you all come from?
Gathered around my pain
So nice it is to see you
Whoever you may be
Where was it that I met you?
I do not know your names
I hope I can entertain you
As my body ignites in flames
Watching me as I burn
I hope you enjoy the show
Waiting for your turn
Adding fuel, my fire grows
Misery and agony
Lighting up your eyes
Smiles crack your face
My suffering takes you high
Enveloped in my sadness
Swallowing my tears
Sweetness on your lips
Salty is my fears
Disparaging eyes surrounding
Staring down my shame
What do you know about me?
Screaming out in vain
Will nobody come to help me?
No one to douse the flames
No one here to speak out
All the watchers hold their gaze
Where did you all come from?
Gathered around my pain
So nice it is to see you
Whoever you may be
Where was it that I met you?
I do not know your names
I hope I can entertain you
As you watch me burn away
