Matches Lyrics by Ephixa, Stephen Walking

Monstercat - 5 Year Anniversary

2016

[Verse 1: Aaron Richards]
Burn, I'm burning in my skin
Can't get them out of my head
The words
These words you said to me, yeah
Stop my heart, barely beating

[Pre-Chorus 1: Aaron Richards]
And now I'm stuck on repeat
I can't sleep through this madness
It's madness
Tame the fire or suffer to live in the ashes
In the ashes

[Chorus: Aaron Richards]
That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches (oh yeah)
That's what happens, happens, happens
That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens

[Verse 2: Aaron Richards]
Water
I need this like water
Hurt
Surround ourselves in self destruction
Self-worth
Need someone to come reconstruct it
You know it, you got it bad
And I got it, I got it bad
We got it bad
And now we're back to that
Feeling we never had
Just pretend
Catalyze my catatonic mind
Give it life

[Pre-Chorus 2: Aaron Richards]
Until it burns too bright
Burns too bright
Consume what little's left inside
Under cover of night
Put the past out of sight
We both knew it wasn't right

[Chorus: Aaron Richards]
That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens
That's what happens
When gasoline plays with matches
That's what happens, happens, happens
When gasoline plays with matches
You get burned

[Outro: Aaron Richards]
And we must wanna be hurt
And we must wanna be
Burned, burned, burned, burned, burned, burned
And we must wanna be
Burned, burned, burned, burned, burned, burned
And we must wanna be
