Set your mind on fire

By Eagle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why are you trying to be a false hero I loved you when you were a zero I felt my back against the wall No one would hear me scream in this hall There's only so much that one can do When confroted with someone like you As must as you thought I was a liar I'm gonna set your mind on fire I don't blame you for using force Looks like we're failing this course I'm not about to trip on my own wire Look at us we're idiots for hire We can't even find a decent place to sleep This world doesn't like us becuase we're not sheep And I know you'd love me if only you tried I might deny it but both my hands are tied You pushed my back against the wall Nobody would hear me call If I blamed you would you blame me I'm at fault if only you'd be You can rip my heart out But I will always continue to shout As much as you thought I was a liar I'm gonna set your mind on fire Written December 12th, 2001 © on Dec 12 2001 01:14 PM PST   20 • 0 • 10
