Carolina Reaper

I'm made of adrenaline and fear
Fever running high
Decades passed with time I realized
I forgot to die

So now I walk the marshes
I'm alone inside my head
Those fool enough to bother me
Strangely end up dead

I'm watchin' grass die, paint dry, summer heat
I feel the rhythm playin' on repeat
The buzzing fills my headspace, I'm aware
They're seeking flesh, but I refuse to share

Carolina reaper
It hurts, but you'll be back for more
When you fantasize of fire
Pain is easy to ignore

Addicted to the agony
Ensured to lose your mind
My future lived in torture
While my past was left behind

January in the sky
Lightning storms and flame
Dined on dying embers
From the blaze that I became

Carolina reaper
It hurts, but you'll be back for more
When you fantasize of fire
Pain is easy to ignore

I met the shooting star
In the empty open void
It howled with realization, said
"I'm made to be destroyed"

I calmed the raging meteor
Held it as it cried
Had to die, but didn't want to
I never left its side

Carolina reaper
It hurts, but you never learn
When you fantasize of fire
Eventually you'll burn, burn
