Let It Burn
down to the wire,
down to hit or be hit
spitting out truthes
like fire from your lips
dragging through the dirt
with bloodshot eyes
then you shoot another smile
like a lightening strike
this ol' world has had it's turn
i'll light the fire and let it burn
no sense in seeking solace
amongst liars and thieves
tried to make amends
but fools are hard to please
i'd love to leave you hope
but hopes just a chore
one more sweet emotion
you'll abuse or ignore
this ou world has had it's turn
i'll light the fire and let it burn
ticking like a time bomb,
trigger finger on the gun
hitting like a jack hammer,
all talk, no answers
this ol' world has had it's turn
i'll light the fire and let it burn
down to hit or be hit
spitting out truthes
like fire from your lips
dragging through the dirt
with bloodshot eyes
then you shoot another smile
like a lightening strike
this ol' world has had it's turn
i'll light the fire and let it burn
no sense in seeking solace
amongst liars and thieves
tried to make amends
but fools are hard to please
i'd love to leave you hope
but hopes just a chore
one more sweet emotion
you'll abuse or ignore
this ou world has had it's turn
i'll light the fire and let it burn
ticking like a time bomb,
trigger finger on the gun
hitting like a jack hammer,
all talk, no answers
this ol' world has had it's turn
i'll light the fire and let it burn
