Matches + Gasoline

lyrics

Take another little hit
And after that you'll quit
The devil's on your shoulder, he's screamin for more
You try to read a mind
That's locked itself inside
You're blinded by the high and you're screamin!

You don't even know my name
It's not some kind of game    
You're playing with your matches and gasoline
You're a liability
You're bursting at the seams
You're playing with your matches and gasoline

I can swim
But I know I can't breath at the bottom of the sea
Try to win
But no amount of money, could keep me from my honey

Wash the venom from your veins
Break out from all your chains
You've opened up the lock with the golden key
You have yourself to blame
You tried to make it rain
You're high up in the haze, ride the lightning!

Walking hot coals
means burning soft souls
Blind me, heal me
melt me, fear me

I don't know why you
can't just live life through
No one hears me
No one's listening
