Before the Flames (Spiral)

You tore me limb from limb
Shouldn't I be hollow then?
Shouldn't I be emptied by
The bottomless pit
And I'm terrified that
I handed you a match
While I was soaked in gasoline
Thinking the curiousity
Would not get you to latch
Onto the monster within
But the shadows were creeping
Long before the flames began
And I may never know if I
Was better off if I'd just ran
Away at the beginning
Before the storm came
And I had started spinning
The spiral was out of control
And I guess I'll never know
