LET IT BURN
(sung to the tune of "Walk through the fire" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

I touch the clothes and it changes me
They show everything I lack
I’d like to change, my body re-arrange
And never to look back

Now in my head, she calls to me
She want to begin the change
To seize the day, or just fade away
The choices are insane

But can I have my desire
Or where else can I turn
Because they are a fire
And it . . .

The cross I bear is crushing me
The devil’s laughing I have no doubt
It makes me cry, it makes me want to die
But I have to tough it out

‘cause I am drawn to desire
I think I’ll never learn
The urge is a fire
And it . . .

Will it really change me
Imprison or will it free me
And am I too far gone to care

What if I went ahead and did it
Reach for the dreams I’ve needed
Or I could give up and just stare

I’ll make it through, its what I have to do
So I will turn from my desire

So day by day I stagger through
Without my dreams my life is cold
But what’s inside, I must always hide
And it never can be told

I walk on the edge of danger
Don’t know what can save me
Everything is becoming dark

Though I reach out in prayer
The situation’s still the same here
wonder if there will ever be a spark

These endless days, will end in a blaze

And I am caught by desire
The point of no return
The urge is a fire
And it,
Burns
Let it burn, let it burn,
Let it burn

It seems so easy...

...as the words cascade from the heart...but the pain and hurt are the fount of the verse, and they refuse denial or delay...it's like you have almost no choice but to write, and as painful as it is, it remains a blessing to us whose own hearts your verse touches. Thank you for putting down what I feel every day.

This is a very honest verse.

This tells of a soul in sadness and indecision, and that it must make a choice either for the good or for the bad, but whatever, the choice must be made. This is what we want in our lives, to make the choice to live free of the shackles our parents, and others around us have put on us. But it is easy to shake those shackles off today, if you remember to be honest with yourself and everyone around you.

This verse talks of making a deal with the devil to live a pristine existence as the person the soul believes itself to be. This was written with a lot of emotion and thought. Thank you for sharing.
