The house is in flames and you set it afire
For reasons only for you to know.
Now, the higher the flames rise
the more they feed your ego.
Burn everything down, just let the room live.
So you could watch the world outside
From a safe distance
Untouched by everything
For you only wish to dream.
What made you gaze upon the clouds
When even memories float away?
Like the smoke that came from the fires
That gave it all away.
Fired up, all in flames
Everything's gone
But there's no black box for you to save
All that your life was built on.
Now you hold your banners
To save your soul.
Even Morse Code, but to no avail
No one can help you now
To save you from your burning hell
You built for yourself.

I think this poem is something special... every word seems just right and just true. This stanza:
"What made you gaze upon the clouds
When even memories float away?
Like the smoke that came from the fires
That gave it all away"
reminds me of POTF lyrics. Lines that once you read them at once seem real and obvious, but I could never have put it in words myself.
GREAT job.
