From this chair.
I sit in despair
under elms in this chair
made of oak
overwhelmed
without care.
.
That wooden irony
is what would inspire me
to ignite this fires nightmare
.
So,
from all of those sticks
and all of that bark;
from all of these trees
that I've ripped apart;
I warm my soul
with the fuel that I stole
from the elms and the oak
of this fire I now stoke.
.
Now,
from this chair
.
sitting right here
.
enjoying the trees
.
and the breeze trough their leaves;
.
I am left with no choice
but to hear my own voice
whispering like a disease...
..Saying,
Throw another chair on the fire
Feed the trees funeral pyre;
Ever higher
.
Ever near
.
Overwhelmed
.
Under elms
.
From this chair of despair.
