Looking For New Fires To Start
Wishful thinking and a book of matches
Is all we need tonight
A self destructive tendency was always the spice of our lives
Fuck, fight and dance naked in the ashes
Another day we can sort it all out
We can save regret for those with a conscience
I will hear you scream for me
We can save pretense for tomorrow in the silence
And feel you come apart at the seams
What are you doing here with me?
Two halves of a whole
That were never meant to be
But when yin and yang touch
Its like planets colliding
Tearing into each other like animals
Enough never really being enough
We can save regret for those with a conscience
I will hear you scream for me
We can save pretense for me in the silence
And feel you come apart at the seams
Stripping away to bare bones we realize
That we are who we are
Outcasts of societal norms
Animalistic and primal creatures in judgemental eyes
...Wishful thinking and a book of matches,
We'll burn this world down,
We can dance naked in its ashes
