Desperate Fire
I strike a match and understand
the strong weakness of my hand
when controlled in a way of constant care
the flame lights up, my soul fire share
carelessly done, humid with the sun
Dampness curse be not undone
Many tries, many strikes, we will see
Strike ONE TRUE LIGHT, So I'll See Me
