All I can see are the red flames.

In a mirror, there are only scars.

To everyone else this all but a game.

They are the ones who ask for my spars.

Nothing I do is right

But it is always my fault

Let them give into the fright

I always try to avoid the thought.

It is always difficult to hide the darkness

But then again, why even bother?

It is true that I am not harmless.

And you’ll be safe.

You could survive another day

And this should be the case.

I always try to avoid the thought.

I may seem dangerous,

But only when provoked.

Many are in danger of

Me going for your throat.

Be careful where you bring the fight

Cause I will not be afraid to bite

So you think that you’re a match?

Then watch out for my scratch.

I have anger pent up inside.

So it’s best to step aside.

If you provoke me

Then I will be
