I was up late last night, talking to the fire
Shadows danced across my page
Light it steals the air, and the truth comes with it
With a crackling hiss she said to me
Boy, quit your games, we know their ways
Like me, they live to mmmmmm
And pay no mind to the cold in all they say
People son, they fear an open flame
But they'll learn your name
She claps hot at me, but I don't mind
I live to feel, sometimes just don't feel the living
Lips that kiss can turn a beating heart to stone
And she can suffocate me
Oh, quit your games, we know their ways
Like me, they live to mmmmmm
And pay no mind to the cold in all they say
People son, they fear an open flame
But don't nobody want the truth here anymore
Waving flags with hollow hearts
And we can't hear shit above the shouts, the idle roar
How's anybody gonna know my name
How's anybody gonna know my name
I was up late last night, talking to the fire
Shadows danced across my page
Oh, quit your games, we know their ways
Like me, they live to mmmmmm
And pay no mind to the cold in all they say
People son, they fear an open flame
