How can it end ever not this way,
when all I wanted was to change?
But now death and destruction lay
at her feet with all my rage.
Everything that she was striving for
burned away faster than the driest leaves
in the flames I could not ignore
that came from her expecting ease.
And the end of all her efforts
are the blackened remains of all I was.
Trying to be as all the experts,
that never showcased any flaws.
Watch me burn out.
I have fire in my veins
and she is who burns me down.
She, who will never let me advance.
I, who will always hold me back
Someday I will watch her fall.
And you will watch me rise.
