If I Were

If I were fire, I would burn this place
If I were King, I'd leave it in disgrace

If I were death, I'd do nothing but behead
Just as myself I've done nothing but bled

If I were the ocean, I'd sink it low
If I were wind, it'd been blown away long ago

If I were hatred, there would be only me
If I were the future, disgust is the only thing to foresee

If I were God, I'd smite us all
If I were Nature, there would be only fall

If I were the cold, I'd find everyone
If I were the warmth, I'd abandon anyone

If I were music, I'd escape people's ears
If I were despair, there would be only tears

If I were anything else, I might be content
But for now I'm me, and this is how I vent...
