Now and here



There is madness rising on the streets tonight,
 there reckless felling in your heart,
there open windows on the streets,
there is cops scene looking for clues,
some cops are closed mind,
 and some are open mind,
 on Broadway streets light people are walking,
 and dealers with bad designs,
 but of cause it is not about them,
 it is about you and me,
 and tears of scars you left with fire inside,
no matter what you do old flame never dies,
 no matter how far you run,
wildfire rages on,
and come and goes with you,
 coming in my dreams,
burning me up at night,
and leaving corpse in the morning,
from aches I rise then,
 resurrection is my cousin now,
I had grown bullet prove skin,
and fire prove heart,
 if you think you killed me,
 think again, you have created a beast and beauty,
only magic can put it out,
yes you left me half dead and buried,
but I am rejuvenated a brand new me,
I turned your cold ways into magic,
and tunes keep playing louder,
 and louder with scornful tears,
burning not for you but someone new,
 I told you will eat your own words!
When times come,
and time is now and here,
with firestorm deep inside.
