fire in the air as the flames licked the sky
and the kids in the basement were all burned alive
as the bands that they loved played the songs that they sang to
because nobody bothered to open a window
the stairs were too narrow
nobody could get out the doors
and the rafters fell
so did the all the other floors
and we all sang along
and we waited for death to take us off this mortal coil
because we were poetic like that
and everybody ran
and we screamed and we held each other
as the flames licked higher and higher
and the ashes of merch
scattered over the ten dollar t-shirts
and that was great
and i was alive
for a minute or maybe two but not quite five
and then i died
and that’s the best part of this night
was that not one of us made it out alive
it’s better off we didn’t
because nobody there was listenin’ to the bands
and they played their songs
except that one big hit we all heard on
not the radio
not mtv
might’ve been blah blah blah blah blah
