Where There’s Smoke
1-31-06
Teach him something
Make him learn
Burn it slowly
Watch him squirm
Leave it smokin’
Bloodshot eyes
Kiss it hard
Say goodbye
Tie the noose around your neck
Perfect circle
I can wreck
Where there’s smoke
You know the rest
Where there’s smoke
This is the test
The spark was there
Watch it die
Pay attention
These eyes don’t cry
I can strike
The final match
Listen close
There’s just one catch
I will burn it at both ends
I won’t play
If I don’t win
Where there’s smoke
You know the rest
Where there’s smoke
This is the test
Walk the plank
And drop your anchor
Yes, it’s cement at your ankles
I’ll stand over
Watch you drowned
Feel the water
All around
Where there’s smoke
There’s always fire.
Thought I would,
Take you higher?
Where there’s smoke
Now it’s time
That you choke.
Where there’s smoke!

Very powerful; I can feel your resentment and disgust with a twinge of anger. Nicely done!

Liked it; but a little confused about the image of walking the plank with cemented feet? :>
