NUCLEAR

You're the flame
You're the Sun.
Bright and warm,
Calling me to love you,
Licking me with that fire tongue.

And I'm almost hypnotized
With that flaming dance,
With the sweet sound of the fire's crackling.
I'm almost touching the flame,
I'm almost burning myself to the ground.

But you're nuclear,
You're a raging bomb
Waiting to explode,
Waiting to turn me into ashes,
To turn me into dust.

You're radioactive,
You can turn me into a monster,
You can turn me into someone like you,
Someone who could kill for fun.
Who could lie and deceive.

And me, darling,
I'm from the anti-bomb squad,
Asking to explode.
I'm the suicide bomber
Waiting to be forgotten.

I'm your target,
And I'm not running from you.
