While the Iron​’​s Hot

from Counting Blessings on Broken Fingers by The Lumbar Endeavor

lyrics

I’ve got this momentum, this drive. And, with my mind brewing in dark thought, I’ll strike while the iron’s hot. I suppose, I should settle the fuck down, unfurrow my brow. The tears add up and I fear I may drown. I’m in a waiting game, stoking a flame with no name. Burning bright, each and every night. Biding time and taking aim and pummeling all those around me, wild with glee… I’m a banshee. From this glimmering sea, I send a murder of crows, as arrows, guilt free. “Oh, it’s not you, it’s me…”, it’s time to reload. Yeah, if I don’t keep this up, this barrage, I’ll implode. You see, the fire was hot, clearly my clarity was not. While the fire’s hot, hot, hot, hot, whether I am or am not. Now, I’m alone. You see, this wasn’t just your home. I’m in a circe of flame, with only myself to blame. I’ve been playin’ with fire. I’ve been playin’ with fire. Fire. Oh no… this fire. I’m consumed by my fire. I’m a-flame in my own shame, for when I lit up this place—while tryin’ to save face—to my rescue, no one came.
