Firebird

Hold me down with an army of lights
Lullabies that I sing at midnight
Always trying hard to make you stay
But you couldn’t ever find a reason
Trying to part with my secret creatures
Dance around all my silent sleepers
Don’t wanna wake you
But I’m locked up tight just fighting off all my demons
Flying high too close to the sun
You’re gonna catch fire, you’re gonna catch fire
Spread your wings and melt in my arms, you’re gonna catch fire
FIREBIRD, don’t burn so bright
I can’t be helped if I wantcha
Entourage of golden lights, blinds the heart of me
FIREBIRD, don’t burn so bright
Bringing me back to bad habits
I’d forget you if I could
Won’t you set me free?
Showing off all that gold you’re finding
When all I want is a silver lining
Trying to getcha but I’m always hitting everything but the target
Breathe me in just to fill the spaces
Hits me hard in all the wrong places
Leave behind all of your changing faces
Take me back where we started
Flying high too close to the sun
You’re gonna catch fire, you’re gonna catch fire
Spread your wings and melt in my arms, you’re gonna catch fire
FIREBIRD, don’t burn so bright
I can’t be helped if I wantcha
Entourage of golden lights, blinds the heart of me
FIREBIRD, don’t burn so bright
Bringing me back to bad habits
I’d forget you if I could
Won’t you set me free?
In a glass cage you’re on stage, but I can’t keep you up there
From the outside you look bright, but I know now you’ll burn out
In a glass cage you’re on stage, but I can’t keep you up there
From the outside you look bright, you look bright
FIREBIRD, don’t burn so bright
I can’t be helped if I wantcha
Entourage of golden lights, blinds the heart of me
FIREBIRD, don’t burn so bright
Bringing me back to bad habits
I’d forget you if I could, won’t you set me free?
FIREBIRD
FIREBIRD
Won’t you set me free?
