Literature Text

So I'll light this city on fire
Just to watch it burn.

Smoke will consume these halls,
Along with your lungs.
There's no time to save yourself
Or wave goodbye.

Emptiness surrounds you now,
And the choice is yours.
What will you save,
Your chemistry set or
Or the tattered old blanket?

You looked so pretty with fear in your eyes,
And I guess that's how it was always meant to be.

As you run with your chemistry set,
You trip and fall.
Everything explodes
And you realise it was all worth nothing.

As you turn to retreive your old blanket,
The roof colapses taking you down with it.
It was too little too late.

You let it consume you
And you forgot.
It's a little weak I know.
