They Started The Fire, Now They’re The Ones Getting Burned

you ever notice how the people who light the match always scream the loudest When The Fire gets out of control they wanted the Flames they wanted the chaos they thought they'd Watch You Burn watch you crumble into ashes while they stood there smug safe and untouchable but life oh life doesn't work that way my friend no no no they started the fire but now now they're the ones getting burned and here's the punchline they didn't see it coming they never do they thought they'd be the ones in control holding the strings pulling you around like

some broken marionette but you you didn't play their game you didn't fall apart instead you stood in the middle of their Firestorm and let it Forge you into something they could never touch and now now the Flames are licking at their heels and they don't know how to put them out you see people like them they're cowards they're not strong strong people don't need to set fires to feel powerful strong people don't tear others down just to feel taller no they're weak fragile afraid and their fear that's what makes them dangerous that's what makes them

light those matches in the first place because if they can't rise above they'll drag everyone else down into the dirt with them but you oh you didn't fall did you you didn't let their Flames consume you instead you turned them against them you took their hate their lies their betrayal and you used it as fuel every insult every knife in the back every attempt to break you it didn't destroy you it built you Brick by Brick scar by Scar and now now you're standing tall while they're choking on the smoke of their own destruction you

want to know why they hate you so much why they keep coming after you even when it's clear they've already lost it's not because of what you've done no it's because of what you've become your everything they'll never be strong resilient unshakable you've taken every punch every wound every betrayal and you've turned it into armor and that armor it terrifies them because it reflects all their weaknesses all their insecurities all the things they try to hide behind their masks when they look at you they don't see you they see themselves and they hate it they

hate you because you remind them of everything they're not but don't you dare feel sorry for them don't you dare pity them they don't deserve your mercy your forgiveness your compassion they didn't show you any did they no they lit the match they watched the Flames rise they laughed while you struggled while you fought to keep your head above the smoke they wanted you to suffocate they wanted you to burn and now now they're the ones gasping for for air they're the ones panicking scrambling trying to escape the fire they started but there's no Escape

my friend no escape from the consequences of their own actions you didn't ask for this did you you didn't ask to be dragged into their chaos into their games into their pathetic little power plays but they dragged you in anyway and now they're paying the price because the thing about fire it doesn't care who started it it doesn't care who thought they were in control it consumes everything in its path without Mercy without hesitation and you you've become the fire that's what they didn't see coming they thought you'd be the victim the one who'd break

the one who'd crumble into dust but instead you became something stronger something they can't control they thought they could play with fire but now they're the ones getting burned and the best part you didn't have to do a damn thing you didn't have to stoop to their level didn't have to play their games all you did did was survive all you did was refuse to fall and that that was enough enough to turn their own fire against them but don't think it's over don't think they'll stop now people like them they don't know how to

quit they'll keep trying keep scheming keep throwing everything they have at you hoping praying that you'll finally break because they can't stand the thought of you winning they can't stand the thought of you walking away from their Flames without a single burn but you're not like them are you you don't need their approval you don't need their validation you've already won and they know it they know they can't touch you can't hurt you can't break you and that that's what will haunt them for the rest of their lives so let them burn let them scream

let them choke on the smoke of their own lies their own betrayal their own destruction they started this fire and now now it's their turn to suffer and you you just keep standing there calm strong unshakable watch as they crumble watch as their world Burns around them and remember this you didn't start the fire but you sure as hell made sure they couldn't escape it you know why they started the fire don't you it wasn't just about you no it's never just about you people like that they burn down everything they touch because they can't

stand the sight of someone else Standing Tall they hate strength they don't understand they hate calmness they can't shake they hate resilience they can't break so they light the match and they tell themselves it's Justified that you deserve it but deep down they're scared scared of what you represent scared of what you've survived scared that no matter how many fires they start you'll always Rise From the Ashes and that fear it eats of them every single day they thought they make you weak but instead they revealed their own weakness here's the thing about fire it's

greedy it doesn't stop it doesn't care who started it who's feeding it who's trying to control it once it's loose it consumes everything and them they thought they were in control thought they could point the flames in your direction and walk away without a scratch but now now they're watching it spread watching it turn back on them consuming everything they built everything they thought was safe and they're panicking because For the First Time they're feeling what they wanted you to feel the heat the fear the helplessness and you you're just standing there watching it all

unfold not because you wanted this not because you planned it but because you refused to break and now the fire they started has nowhere else to go but back to them is poetic really they thought they can they could control the chaos but chaos doesn't play by their rules it's wild unpredictable unforgiving and you you became the embodiment of that chaos you didn't need to fight them didn't need to retaliate all you had to do was survive and now every step you take every breath you draw it's like throwing gasoline on their fire they see

you and they burn burn with jealousy with anger with regret because you're the proof they'll never be what they tried to destroy they'll never have your strength your resilience your calmness and it's killing them but don't let their screams fool you don't let their desperation make you soft they started this fire and they deserve every second of the pain it's bringing them they didn't show you Mercy did they no they wanted you you to suffer wanted you to feel the heat to choke on the smoke to beg for air they didn't care about your pain

your struggle your survival so why should you care about theirs Let Them Burn Let Them choke let them drown in the chaos they Unleashed it's not your responsibility to save them it's not your job to put out their fire you've done enough you've survived enough now it's their turn to face the flames you know what the real tragedy is they'll never learn even as the fire consumes them even as they watch their world Fall Apart they'll blame you they'll call you the villain the monster the one who ruined everything because admitting the truth admitting they

did this to themselves that would mean facing their own reflection and people like them they'd rather burn than face the truth so let them let them Point their fingers let them spread spread their lies let them scream your name in Anger it doesn't matter because the truth is out there written in the ashes of everything they destroyed and deep down they know they know they lit the match they know they fed the Flames they know this fire is theirs you don't need their apologies you don't need their explanations their excuses their fake tears none of

it will ever undo what they tried to do and you you've already moved past it you've already risen above it but here's the thing you'll never forget you'll never forget the Flames they set at your feet the way they tried to watch you burn and that memory that's your strength that's your fuel every time you see their faces every time you hear their names you'll remember what they tried to take from you and you'll remind yourself that they failed they started the fire but you you walked through it you turned it into power and now

they're the ones choking on the smoke watching their world collapse knowing they did this to themselves they wanted you to break they wanted you to fall but instead you became something they'll never understand stronger harder unshakable and now every time they see you they'll Feel the Fire they started they'll feel it burning them from the inside out and you you'll stand there calm untouched watching as they destroy themselves that's the beauty of it my friend they started the fire but now now they're the ones getting burned you know what's funny they think they've still got

a chance even now as the fire they started eats away at everything they built they're still clinging to some pathetic hope that they'll come out on top that they'll rebuild that they'll regain control that they'll find a way to pull you down again but that's the joke isn't it because the Fire doesn't stop it doesn't care about their plans their excuses their desperation it just keeps burning and the more they try to escape the faster it spreads they lit the match thinking they were Untouchable that they could control it that they could control you but

now they're realizing the truth chaos doesn't pick sides it doesn't follow rules it consumes everything in its path especially the ones who started it but you you didn't just survive you embraced the flames you stood in the middle of their chaos and let it fuel you you shape you transform you into something they'll never understand while they panicked while they stumbled while they burned you stayed calm and that calmness it's your weapon it's what makes you dangerous because calmness isn't just about silence it's about control it's about looking the storm in the eye and saying

I'm not afraid of you and that that terrifies them because they've spent their whole lives running from their own storms hiding from their own chaos pretending it doesn't exist but you you f was it you've let it tear through you and now there's nothing left for them to destroy oh they'll try to fight back they'll try to rebuild try to convince themselves that they're still in control but deep down they know the truth they know they've already lost because no matter how many times they light the match no matter how many fires they start they'll

never be able to touch you again you've become something they can't burn something they can't break you've taken their fire their chaos their hate and you've turned it into something they'll never have power real power the kind that doesn't scream or shout or demand attention the kind that just is but don't think for a second that they're done with you people like them they don't know how to quit they'll keep coming keep scheming keep trying to find a way to drag you back into their chaos because they can't stand the thought of you standing tall

while they fall apart but that's their problem not yours you've already won every time they see you every time they hear your name they'll Feel the Fire they started creeping closer hotter more Relentless and you you'll stand there calm Untouchable watching as they burn themselves to the ground here's the truth they don't want to admit they started this fire because they were scared of you scared of your strength your resilience your ability to survive no matter what they threw at you they thought they could snuff you out reduce you to ashes make you disappear but

instead you became something stronger something they can't control and now now now they'll spend the rest of their lives choking on the smoke of their own destruction they'll look at you and see everything they could have been everything they'll never be and it'll eat them alive but don't let their screams distract you don't let their chaos pull you back in you've come too far fought too hard to let them drag you down now let them burn let them crumble let them face the consequences of their own actions because you you're untouchable you've turned their fire

into your power their chaos into your calm their hate into your strength and now no matter how hard they try no matter how loud they scream they'll never be able to take that away from you they wanted to watch you burn they wanted to see you fall to see you crumble into nothing but instead they started a fire they couldn't control and now it's their world that's turned turning to Ash their lies their games their power all of it gone so let them scream Let Them Fight let them drown in the chaos they created because

this fire it's theirs and you you're not the one burning anymore you're the one Standing Tall watching as the Flames consume everything they thought they controlled and that that's the punchline they thought they destroy you but all they did was Destroy themselves you think they'll stop you think this fire will burn itself out no fires like this they don't just fade away they feed on fear on lies on desperation and people like them they'll keep throwing everything into the Flames everything they have left everything they are because they can't admit that they've already lost they'll

try to rewrite the story try to paint themselves as the victims the martyrs the ones who were wronged they'll twist your name twist your actions twist the truth because that's all they have left lies lies and smoke but you you don't need to say a word you don't need to defend yourself because the truth the truth is written in the ashes of everything they destroyed you don't owe them any anything not your time not your energy not your forgiveness they lit the match they started this fire and now they're choking on the consequences let them

let them wallow in the mess they made let them drown in the chaos they Unleashed that's not your burden to carry because here's the thing they didn't just try to destroy you they tried to erase you tried to strip you of everything you were everything you stood for everything you fought to build they wanted to see you as nothing more than a pile of Ash a memory a whisper of what you once were but instead you became something they couldn't predict something they couldn't control something they'll never understand you became the fire itself they wanted

chaos didn't they they wanted destruction power control but chaos doesn't bow to anyone it doesn't play favor they thought they could use it against you but chaos turned on them chaos chose you because you didn't try to fight it you didn't try to control it you let it shape you strengthen you make you into something they can't touch and now they're scrambling scrambling to put out the fire to salvage what's left of their world to undo the damage they caused but it's too late the Fire doesn't care about their regrets their excuses their cries for

Mercy it just burns and you you don't need to lift a finger all you have to do is stand there and watch watch as the Flames they started consume everything they thought they controlled watch as their lies unravel their masks slip their world collapses around them watch as they burn but don't let them fool you don't let their screams or their tears make you doubt yourself they'll try to make you feel guilty make you feel like you're the one to blame like you're the villain in their story but you're not the villain my friend you're

the Survivor The Fighter the one who walked through their fire and came out stronger and now you're the reminder they can't escape the reminder of everything they Tred tried to destroy and failed every time they see you every time they hear your name they'll feel the Flames again they'll feel the heat the smoke the fear they tried to bury and they'll know deep down that they did this to themselves you don't need to fight them anymore you don't need to prove anything you've already won they started the fire and now they're the ones paying the

price let them let them scream let them cry let them beg for a mercy they never gave you it doesn't matter because you you're untouchable now you've risen above their games their lies their hate you've taken their fire and turned it into your strength and now no matter what they do no matter how hard they try they'll never be able to pull you down again and that's a real joke isn't it they thought they were in control thought they were the ones holding the match but now now they're the ones running from the Flames choking

on the smoke watching everything they built turn to Ash so let them burn Let Them Suffer let them drown in the chaos they created they thought they could destroy you but all they did was Destroy themselves and you you're still here standing strong unbroken they started the fire but now now it's their turn to burn they thought the fire was their weapon they thought it gave them power control domination they didn't see it for what it truly was a monster they couldn't tame Fire doesn't obey orders it doesn't care who started it it just devours

and the moment they lit that match the moment they aimed their chaos at you they sealed their own fate you didn't even have to fight back that's the beauty of it isn't it you didn't need Revenge didn't need to stoop to to their level didn't need to dirty your hands all you had to do was stand there Stand Tall stand strong and let the fire turn back on them because the truth is they were always going to burn themselves you were just the mirror that showed them the Flames but don't think they'll go quietly no

people like them they'll claw they'll scream they'll lash out with everything they have left because that's all they know how to destroy they can't stand the thought of losing can't stand the thought of Someone Like You Rising above their games so they'll keep coming keep throwing their pathetic little punches hoping praying that they can break you but they don't understand you do they they don't understand what you've been through what you've survived what you've become they don't see the strength that Lies Beneath Your calmness the fire you've turned into your power and that's why they'll

fail again and again and again you've become something they can't touch something they'll will never be they thought they were throwing you into the fire thought they'd Watch You Burn and laugh at the ashes but instead you walked through it you let it tear you apart scar you shape you and now now you've risen from it stronger harder unshake aable and that scares them it terrifies them because you're not supposed to be here you're not supposed to be standing you're supposed to be broken defeated destroyed but instead you're looking them in the eye calm and

unbothered while their world Burns around them oh they'll tell themselves it's not their fault they'll rewrite the story twist the truth try to paint themselves as the victims they'll Point their fingers at you at the fire at anyone but themselves because admitting the truth admitting they started this that they fed the Flames with their lies their hatred their betrayal that would mean taking responsibility and people like them they don't know how to do that but it doesn't matter does it they lies their excuses their desperate attempts to shift the blame they're meaningless because the truth

is out there clear as day written in the the ashes of everything they destroyed and no amount of screaming no amount of scheming can change that here's the real joke my friend they thought the fire would destroy you but instead it set you free free from their control their games they're poison you're not bound by their rules anymore not trapped by their chaos you've taken their fire their hate their destruction and turned it into something they'll never have power real power and that power it's yours now it's in your hands in your scars in your

calmness and no matter how hard they try no matter how loud they scream they'll never be able to take it away from you they started the fire thinking it would destroy you but all it did was reveal who they really are cowards weak pathetic they thought they were in control thought they could Bend you to their will but now now they're the ones running the ones choking on the smoke the ones watching their world Fall Apart heart and you you're still here standing strong watching not because you wanted this not because you planned it but

because they gave you no choice they pushed you into the flames and now they're paying the price so let them burn let them scream let them drown in the chaos they created this fire it's theirs this destruction it's theirs and you you're not the one burning anymore you're the one Standing Tall watching as the Flames consume everything they thought they controlled and that that's the real punchline this they started the fire but now they're the ones getting burned oh they're still trying aren't they scrambling clawing begging the Flames to die down thinking they can undo

what they started but fires don't work like that you can't whisper your way out of a blaze you fed with your own hands they poured fuel on it over and over thinking it would consume you thinking it would leave you in Ruins and now now they're choking on the smoke trying to douse a fire that's already devoured them and the irony they'll never admit it's their fault never even as the Flames Scorch their skin even as their world collapses around them they'll find someone else to blame maybe you maybe someone else because admitting the truth

that would mean admitting they're weak that they failed that everything they touched turned to Ash because they were the ones who struck the match but you know the truth don't you you've always known they didn't see you coming they didn't think you had it in you to stand tall to rise above the chaos to let their fire shape you instead of destroy you they underestimated you and now they're paying the price but don't think for a second that they'll stop people like them they don't know how to stop they're addicted to the chaos to the

power they think it gives them even as the fire burns everything they've built even as it turns on them they'll keep feeding it they'll keep throwing everything they have into it thinking they can regain control thinking they can still win but here's the punchline they've already lost they lost the moment they thought they could control you the moment they thought their fire would break you and now now they're the ones breaking You' become their worst nightmare not because you fought back not because you stooped to their level but because you didn't you didn't react the

way they wanted you to you didn't scream didn't beg didn't crumble he just stood there calm unshaken and that that terrifies them because calmness real calmness it's something they'll never understand it's something they'll never have it's not just the absence of chaos it's control it's strength its power and you you've mastered it you've taken everything they threw at you all the hate all the lies all the Betrayal and you've turned it into something they can't touch they thought they were strong thought they had power control dominance but real strength real power it doesn't scream it

doesn't doesn't lash out it doesn't need an audience real power is quiet it's calm it's unshakable and you you've become the embodiment of it and that's why they hate you that's why they can't let you go every time they see you every time they hear your name it's like a knife in their chest a reminder of their failure a reminder of your strength a reminder that no matter how many times they tried to break you they couldn't but don't let their screams distract you don't let their desperation pull you back into their chaos they'll try

oh they'll try they'll cry they'll lie they'll twist the story make themselves the victims paint you as the villain but you don't owe them anything not your time not your energy not your forgiveness they started this fire they fed it they watched it grow thinking they were Untouchable thinking it would only consume you and now now it's their turn to burn and you you're still here standing strong Untouchable you didn't just survive their fire you became it you took everything they threw at you and turned it into fuel you let it Forge you into something

they'll never understand something they'll never be and now every time they see you every time they hear your name they'll feel it the heat the fear the helplessness the fire they started has become their prison and they'll never Escape it so let them burn let them scream let them drown in the chaos they created this fire it's not yours to fear anymore it's theirs and they'll spend the rest of their life lives choking on the smoke watching as everything they built turns to Ash because the truth is they thought they could destroy you thought they

could erase you thought they could reduce you to nothing but instead they destroyed themselves and that that's the joke they started the fire but now they're the ones getting burned [Music]
