Fire Lyrics by Like Ghosts

To Feel Like You’re Drowning

2017

[Verse 1]
I spent the last year waiting
For a chance to get it right
But we both know that I'm the poster boy
Of failed attempts to try
I'm fucking sick of all the pressure
And all these voices in my head
So I'll douse these dreams in kerosene
And strike a match instead

[Chorus]
So light me up, make me burn like fire
God can you show me the way?
'Cause I've been gone for so long
Yet I can never escape
No

[Verse 2]
And I've been hiding from these mirrors
Because I'm terrified to see
Someone who's wasting all their time
It looks a lot like me
Maybe I stay awake at night
Sitting in the dark
Thinking "Maybe I could change the world
If I just had a spark."

[Chorus]
So light me up, make me burn like fire
God can you show me the way?
'Cause I've been gone for so long
Yet I can never escape
I'm just a thief
With the best intentions
Not enough luck
And too much ambition

[Bridge]
I've never been one
To learn from my mistakes
So burn this to the ground with me
'cause I know we all feel the same
I've never been one
To learn from my mistakes
So burn this to the ground with me
'cause I know we all feel the same

[Chorus]
So light me up, make me burn like fire
God can you show me the way?
'Cause I've been gone for so long
Yet I can never escape
So light me up, make me burn like fire
God can you show me the way?
'Cause I've been gone for so long
Yet I can never escape
I'm just a thief
With the best intentions
Not enough luck
And too much ambition
I can never escape!
