Set Fire To The Lifestream Poem by Sven Rhoads

I can feel my blood burning hot
How did my life all come to this
After giving them all I've got
It's not enough to suck it out of my wrists

How can I get the poison out of me
When all I feel is hate inside
I won't let this life be a tragedy
Just slowly watching everything die
How can I look on the brighter side
When you put the gun against my head
I'll never commit to this force fed suicide
Even though I've let my skin turn red

I'll never kneel and be the lie
That you always wanted me to be
To use and abuse until the end of time
This can't be the life that was made for me

So I'll just let go and fade away
Nothing more than a digital whisper
I'm trying to get well my friend
But the bastards keep pushing me to the edge
So I'll just disappear and be gone
Left as a distant memory
I'm trying to shed the darkness
But there's so much poison inside me

I'm trying to turn the rage into fire
To burn my perseverance
I'm trying to turn these tears into snow
To numb all the things inside of me
