I could build you castles,
I could build us our own world,
and fill it with our
favorite things to do.
But I could just as easily
strike a match and
light the world aflame
and then I’d watch it all
burn here with you.
Creation may seem romantic
but I just find it dull.
Why let the world’s
resources go to waste?
When we could start a fire
and watch earth’s
ruins burn and smolder.
Maybe then
we will not feel so out of place.
