2003-07-14hmmm - 9:04 p.m. ahhh
this isn't negativity
I don't mean to complain
but there's an evil prophecy
that makes you go insane
there is a secret world, you see,
an imminent domain
so here's my story A to Z
(the saga of my brain)
back when I was only six
I caught the woods on fire
it started with a match and sticks
and grew into a pyre
I tried to put it out before
the flames flew up the tree
but fate is such an evil whore
she got the best of me
and I came out into the street
against a backdrop blaze
crying at my foibled feat
while onlookers, amazed,
exclaimed, "why do you cry?"
"you did it!" "it's your fault!"
as tears of horror filled my eye
they blamed me for assault
of innocence and beauty
all that nature has to give
perhaps they felt their duty
was to teach me how to live
responsibly and safely
and to warn me of my ways
but there's no way in hades
I could reconcile the days
of my stalwart insistence
of asserting my desire
for the path of least resistance
that consumed me like a fire
busted: theft and vandalism
when I was in third grade
surrounded by the scandal of my
bad boy masquerade
so on it went like stalk and chase
smash and toil and bubble
as sparks fly upward in your face
my life was born for trouble
and downward spirals don't end well
I know this to be true
but this good fortune I foretell
is written just for you:
there is a God -- I swear it's true!
a merciful umpire
and if you know what's good for you
you won't light your own fire.
