Slow Burn
Fist to my face knocks me back
Onto the grassy earth I smack
Sneakers smash into my trembling skin
Faggot flies from smiling lips
Cutting through the midnight's airy mist
Blood running down my face
Matches the red hot anger within
I'll make sure they won't do it again
I'll hear their screams and pitiful cries
Their bones snapping underneath my tires
Begging for mercy/Undeserving
They're not worthy
Bash them out of their misery
Toss them into the river and flee
But no
I step back from the madness
Back from the madness and go
Into a slow burn
Tiny and reeking of fear
Pounding my chest to make it clear
I am not like you/I am not like you
I despise you
Shatter the mirror inside you
Maybe it will destroy me too
What I am leaves me at a loss
You're over the line I'm afraid to cross
I'll beat you back into your little place
Then I'll brag and boast in style
Talk my shit spread it far and wide
Split myself so it'll never be my turn
To go into a slow burn
When it gets too quiet
It's tempting to make chaos
Revel in old trauma
Then detach like nothing was lost
Stand resilient or lay enraged
Vengeance is cancer
Darkness always calls
There's no need to answer
Climbing out of this grave
Slough off my charred, rotting flesh
Spit the ash out of my mouth
Rise into who I will be
The balm for this slow burn
Onto the grassy earth I smack
Sneakers smash into my trembling skin
Faggot flies from smiling lips
Cutting through the midnight's airy mist
Blood running down my face
Matches the red hot anger within
I'll make sure they won't do it again
I'll hear their screams and pitiful cries
Their bones snapping underneath my tires
Begging for mercy/Undeserving
They're not worthy
Bash them out of their misery
Toss them into the river and flee
But no
I step back from the madness
Back from the madness and go
Into a slow burn
Tiny and reeking of fear
Pounding my chest to make it clear
I am not like you/I am not like you
I despise you
Shatter the mirror inside you
Maybe it will destroy me too
What I am leaves me at a loss
You're over the line I'm afraid to cross
I'll beat you back into your little place
Then I'll brag and boast in style
Talk my shit spread it far and wide
Split myself so it'll never be my turn
To go into a slow burn
When it gets too quiet
It's tempting to make chaos
Revel in old trauma
Then detach like nothing was lost
Stand resilient or lay enraged
Vengeance is cancer
Darkness always calls
There's no need to answer
Climbing out of this grave
Slough off my charred, rotting flesh
Spit the ash out of my mouth
Rise into who I will be
The balm for this slow burn
