walk through the fire

Things could be different
any day now
it could all change
Maybe now is the time
for a break
for those clouds to go away
for the right chemical reaction
the right equation
to make everything right
What are the chances
that this madness with endure forever
what is the point
if this is all we get
Maybe someday
the hot and the cold,
the rapture and the droll
won't conspire against us so
can I write the rules
can I do it my own way
Let me write a check or two
let me break your bones
and walk away unscathed
let me walk through the fire
spit flames into the sky
and never get the feeling
I'm about to die.
