Strike the Match
Standing at the edge of the precipice
Lost in the fog of my mind
Close my eyes to hide from this crippled stage
But can't claw out the pain that dwells inside
Touch the phosphate to the surface, smell the burn
The smoke lingers on bated breath
The sting of sparks on open skin, the heat of turning flame
Twist the fuse around my soul again
Come one come all come witness the show
The world is on the stage
Come forth and show, the folks at home
How fast the flame will take
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
All it takes is a flame to burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
One more fist in the air as we burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Watch the world go down in flames as we burn it down
Stretched thin from the stress, bends but never breaks
Hear the Crack of the whip against the sand
Each shaking breath drags like glass against the skin
How much more of this do I take
Blow after blow, how many to go
Before I finally break
Crack of the bones, I welcome the call
To fight another day
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Raise a voice to the sky and burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Another flame to the fire as we burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Watch the world go down in flames as we burn it down
Lost in the fog of my mind
Close my eyes to hide from this crippled stage
But can't claw out the pain that dwells inside
Touch the phosphate to the surface, smell the burn
The smoke lingers on bated breath
The sting of sparks on open skin, the heat of turning flame
Twist the fuse around my soul again
Come one come all come witness the show
The world is on the stage
Come forth and show, the folks at home
How fast the flame will take
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
All it takes is a flame to burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
One more fist in the air as we burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Watch the world go down in flames as we burn it down
Stretched thin from the stress, bends but never breaks
Hear the Crack of the whip against the sand
Each shaking breath drags like glass against the skin
How much more of this do I take
Blow after blow, how many to go
Before I finally break
Crack of the bones, I welcome the call
To fight another day
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Raise a voice to the sky and burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Another flame to the fire as we burn it down
Strike the Match, light the fire
Start a war, burn it brighter
Strike the Match, light the fire
Watch the world go down in flames as we burn it down
