Fires burning in my soul

Secrets and sins are its coal

It burns through hope, It burns through glee

It destroys my life, then smiles at me

The fire blazes and can't be stopped

My brain is cooked and my heart is chopped

The fun in life is burnt beyond black

My imagination starts to crumble and crack

Time stops, but the flames burn on

Everything I am or was is gone

I open my eyes and I see the sun

The process is over the fires are done

I try to think of fun and of laughter

There once were dreams and I their crafter

The reality hits like a stone to the head

My childhood's over, my happiness dead

It feels like I'm brainwashed or in a dark cult

However, I know I am now an adult.
