'Tongue is a Fire' are words of love, anger, and frustration: sometimes spitting vengeance in questioning, sometimes remorseful. All in all, it’s a voice that spouts its view. Be it wrong or right, it is said and done. No excuses.

When I’m Dr. Jekyll
I’m not Mr. Hyde
And when I’m Mr. Hyde
I’m not Dr. Jekyll
Which me is being fickle?
The confusion of decision is for the mood to decide
Do me the kindness Hyde
and plan suicide
I'll be right by your side
Tongue is a Fire
The tongue cannot be tamed
It is an uncontainable evil
full of noxious poison
Holler to the depths of hell
when your tongue is a fire
Quench your verbal abuse
drink the water given
beneath the sun’s rays
Look for sunlight on cold water
Speak loving words or be dumb
control that tongue
Lovers rust together
Calling - concerning the heart - was granted
it chanted
angel wanted
To me you’re the whole thing
you’re queen
I’m king
Consent - concerning the soul - gave interweave
never leave
heavenly receive
To me you’re the whole thing
you’re queen
I’m king

If ever a man should be judged
then let it be on his love for the children of this world
for they are the future
Our bodies are gone but our love remains
eternally whispering amidst the trees
