Fire Of Unknown Origin

🚨🔥♨️🔥♨️🔥🚨
Unknown Hands Are Burning My Words
Discarded Matches On The Floor
Leaving Ashes, Shredding My Nerves
♨️🔥♨️
In Fire And Flame My Work Has Burned
The Pages Of My Life Are Torn
Unknown Hands Are Burning My Words
♨️🔥♨️
Just Smoke And Ashes In A Blur
My House Destroyed I'm Out The Door
Leaving Ashes, Shredding My Nerves
♨️🔥♨️
So Much Destruction, It's Absurd
Stories Fragile, Written No More
Unknown Hands Are Burning My Words
♨️🔥♨️
Looking For Hope But The Fire Burn
My Mind Is Screaming, Cease, No More
Leaving Ashes, Shredding My Nerves
♨️🔥♨️
Wont Walk Away, I Will Return
My Tales On Paper Wings Will Soar
Unknown Hands Are Burning My Words
Leaving Ashes, Shredding My Nerves
