Fire Lyrics

Walk across the burning coals

The flames lick at my back

Try to keep them straight

But I find I'm losing track

Just a taste of honey

That's all I need

Sugary lips receding

Take me down until I bleed

Something outside melting, freezing

Can't you take me in?

You never play the loser

And you know that I can't win

His eyes are blank and his jaw is slack

Box of matches behind his back

Looking down with a smile on his face

Built a treadmill to keep me in place

Walk a mile in my shoes

Until you've worn the soles

Instead, you turn the speed up

Watch me wear them full of holes

Just a drop of honey

To spark a dream

Or let me see the truth

Where things aren't what they seem

I see the fire raging

Burning outside from within

Behind the open door

So I turn around again
