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)
