about

We wrote this song to paint a picture of a vulnerable 'time bomb' teenager who has a tendency to live too close to the edge resulting in a spiral of self destructiveness.

lyrics

Obsession With Fire


Oh, your aloe vera heart
Your bone china shell
Hides the cracks and faults of your
Dynamite, dynamite

Like a tiger’s rage
Pent up in it’s cage
Let the anger rein in your
Dreams again, dreams again.

You always need somebody new
Is that the best that you can do?

Mother told me not to play with fire
Fingers burn for nothing but desire
hang those bloodied boots up on the wire.

You've got a stone in your left hand
And a feather in the right
So choose your weapon wisely
Make a stand

Take it out on someone,
Your obsession with fire
Don’t you come and take it
Out on me, out on me.

You always need somebody new
Is that the best that you can do?

Mother told me not to play with fire
Fingers burn for nothing but desire
Hang those bloodied boots up on the wire.


Too long its been too long
Too long too long
Too long its been too long
Too long.
Too long too long
Too long too long
Too long too long
Too long.
