Blow the smoke away
I know you don't like it, mm
You're against the grain
That's how I like it, mm
First degree, you'll follow me
And I can't hide it, mm
You scorch the sky and tear it down
You light a match in me, mm

I'm going down in flames and you're feeding the fire
Each word you breathe
Call me insane, I'm in love with your games
Oh, I hear your name with the song of the fire
Where else would I be?
I'm letting it burn, burn, burn
Letting it burn, burn, burn

(Let it burn, burn, burn, burn)
(Let it burn, burn, burn)

Drew your shape in ash
I ain't held you, I'm all about you
I'm always coming back
Getting close to your heat
You lit a match in me

I'm going down in flames and you're feeding the fire
Each word you breathe
Call me insane, I'm in love with your games
Oh, I hear your name with the song of the fire
Where else would I be?
I'm letting it burn, burn, burn
Letting it burn, burn, burn

(Let it burn, burn, burn, burn)
(Let it burn, burn, burn)
(Let it burn, burn, burn, burn)
(Let it burn, burn, burn)
