The fire inside me, bleeds.
Water from my eyes, dribble.
Aire from my lungs, escaped.
And I feel I am the earth. Dirt.
Always wanted to be one with the elements,
just not with my face in the ground.

The fire inside me, made me ash.
Water from my eyes, melted me.
Air from my lungs, blew me away.
And I feel I am the earth. sediment.
Always wanted to be one with the elements,
just not with nothing left to give.

The fire inside me, extinct.
Water from my eyes, dried.
Air from my lungs, breathed.
I as the earth... a wasteland.
Always wanted to be one with the elements,
just not with the ugliness the world sees day to day.
