into the fire
i’m thrown

where it hardly
feels even warm

i must satiate
all desire

so that i can
again feel fire

i know that i must
feel something

i feel
not even fire’s sting

my skin
is fireproof

burn me up
but it aint no use

i speak
the firery word

i got the feather
of the firebird

i got the feather
i got the feather
i got the feather
of the firebird

out from the fire
i come

now I am comfortably
numb

i feel but
all the same

i still cannot
feel the flame

i know that i must
feel something

i feel
not even fire’s sting
