Ruler Of This Disaster

I light candles and watch them warm up my room,

I spell out curses that will outline your doom.

You asked if I’d turn your life into a tragedy,

If I’d slice and dice your struggling legacy…

But you’re no longer the ruler of this disaster.

Watch me spin like a hurricane, faster and faster.

I sprinkle hot sparkles on our graying story,

I hex you and your reasons, excuses and sorries.
