Give Me Fire
I've just crossed a line with you. Tell me off. Don't go easy on me, just let it rip. Let all your frustration out. I want to feel the heat of your blood boiling. Any format, any length.

Sleeping Giants

That'd make you feel good wouldn't it? Seeing me lose control. Then you could play the victim but this isn't a game I'm willing to throw. You think you're so fucking smart, that you've got me backed into a corner. I built this fucking house. I'll burn it to the ground before you're part owner. You mistake my stillness for weakness, thinking I've lost my edge. But just because a monster is quiet doesn't mean it's dead. You provoke as if you're a challenge but the power has always been imbalanced. I could have ended you with a few words, pointed out some harsh truths then stood back and watched you swing from that noose. But this monster doesn't stir that easily, especially not for someone so measly.
