A fire of glass and sharp objects
The flames burning minds
My mind will never be the same
Do you hear the calling of winter bells
Or is that the silent screams of a broken brain
One, two, three, four
Once alive now a rotting mush
Five is me
A living being inside a corpse shell
Crying for help is nothing but attention
Stop crying louder and louder
Stop crying
Make the fire of a family calm
Only I can hear their screams
Flames clouding my vision
My mind burning in the pits of hell
Of a room of broken glass
