Thumb on the Trigger.
Tick
‘You’re so fucking irresponsible’
Tick
‘Get over yourself’
Tick
‘You’re not right in the head’
Tick
Tick
Boom
I know if I listen
Ever
So
Carefully
I will hear it
The
Cah-lick
Click
Click
Of the lighter
Steel against flint
Cah-lick
CLICK
vwwhooOOSSSHHHHHH!
Gas
Into
FLAME 🔥
I know if I listen
I will hear him whisper
Got her.
🔥
Flame into Fire 🔥
Thumb on the trigger
Stand up
Take your marks
I know how this goes
How this shit always starts
But
I know if I listen
Ever
So
Carefully
I will hear not the click
But the words
Of her shouting
Remember your worth
Remember your worth
Remember your worth
I know if
I Stop
Look
And Listen
It will all be so clear:
The needy will trigger:
The broken and the weak
That’s just who they are
They’re gonna do
As they do
But my body is mine
My mind and my day
Control over fear
Respond
Don’t react
My life and my way
My mind and my day
My mind and my day
I know if I listen
I will hear
It’s loud
And
It’s clear
Remember you’re worth
That rush is not fear
As water into wine
So to Flame into Fire 🔥
