Fire in and out

Past hunts me, like the hounds baring their fangs...

When everything seems o trivial Even then I decide to give it a quarter hearted try Cuz the better part of my heart was scarred by love With the broken leftovers I live just to let myself die

Seeming intent to annihilate their world But in my loneliness always I sigh Feeling the rage crush me in and out A fire breathing dragon am I

Should have compromised just to feel happy Being just myself, into the gloom of reality, took a nose dive With the gush of air I saw everything moving up Was it my anguish which burned me alive?

The terms and the conditions, the rules of the game Forced by circumstances, tried to learn “em all Hitting beneath the belt, later I realized The rules just break you and make you crawl

Started seeing things a little differently In a shade of green, hypnotized by those eyes You played your ticks, took back that lovely spell Being your beloved’s favorite quarry sometimes feels so nice

Want to take a walk on the sunny side of life High o drugs for body and mind Lost my sense of direction in the short run The vices of mine gag me and bind Already pushed my self to the limits I’ve not learned to let things go free Everything you said, I deny But don’t dare deny me, when I m on my winning spree

Winning everything back is all I know now You can’t scare a man who has nothing to lose Give up everything that you are doing, it’s high time I m not going to test my patience, when the neck is in the noose

Stopped taking lessons from your swamis I do what my heart asks me to do Life is short, I can somehow see For the first time I want to be myself, my own guru

Striking me is the mighty hammer of time There’s just one thing that you should know You can’t bring back the time that has gone Can’t stop the pendulum swinging to and fro

So much to say, so little pace I don’t start writing, coz I just can’t stop Hope some of you understand what I mean if I say This pen will continue writing even when it has consumed the ink’s last drop
