would you take up conversation
despite failed realization
grasping words like unfilled lungs
proper tension on your tongue

speak of clashing, coinciding,
crashing, and colliding
better blunt talk, than bullets
search for understanding through it

you fight fire with fire the whole world burns
disparaging priorities mask concerns
who are we relinquishing an oasis of understanding 
to those drowning in a lonely desert burn

paint a picture in your head now
see a woman reaching out
she's lonely, desperate, searching,
for something to stop the hurting

you fight fire with fire the whole world burns
disappearing empathy , self-centered yearns
who are we relinquishing an oasis of understanding
blind to our own neighbors who blinds us in turn

we fight fire with fire the whole world burns
disappearing empathy, self-centered yearns
who are we relinquishing an oasis of understanding
blind to our own neighbors which blinds us in turn

Fire With Fire
