you; like fire against a black sky
explode and burn just for the mercy of it
to be bolder, brighter and right

funny are your words full of pride
an ego consumes your brilliant heart
you; like fire against a black sky

i smell defeat coming from your eyes
a salty mixture, warm and brutal
to be bolder, brighter, and right

you laugh, but know no reasons why
a wish for rebirth crashes and crumbles
you; like fire against a black sky

beg you will, but no one will see you cry
no sacrifice shows your true effort
to be bolder, brighter, and right

you write the definition we will read
so create one with all of your heart
you; like fire against a black sky
to be bolder, brighter, and right
