Matches

about
Of "Matches," Texas Blog The Music Enthusiast says it's "An invigorating one to listen to — and one would assume it’s a highlight at shows — this number feels like the beginning of a brand new band, one that’s extremely cohesive and hungry to try to make a splash on the national stage."
lyrics
You're just a flick away
From your next escape
...cause the fire never stays.
Aligned hearts in a book
Ashes overtook
...another night, another strike, another lie to feel alive.
You wanted a slow burn.
You want a match? Well, light mine baby
You wanna match? Well, come on baby
You want it - did you get what you needed?
You want a match? Well, light mine baby
You wanna match, oh well.
Why don't you give up the fix?
You're down to one matchstick
...and don't be so sure I'm it.
Engrave the names
Of your past mistakes
...another time, another place, I might've let you fan the flame.
Ignorance is blisters on your callused fingers
I won't be a part of it
You'll burn up in the end
You'll burn up in the end
You'll burn out what you use
Did you get what you needed?
From your next escape
...cause the fire never stays.
Aligned hearts in a book
Ashes overtook
...another night, another strike, another lie to feel alive.
You wanted a slow burn.
You want a match? Well, light mine baby
You wanna match? Well, come on baby
You want it - did you get what you needed?
You want a match? Well, light mine baby
You wanna match, oh well.
Why don't you give up the fix?
You're down to one matchstick
...and don't be so sure I'm it.
Engrave the names
Of your past mistakes
...another time, another place, I might've let you fan the flame.
Ignorance is blisters on your callused fingers
I won't be a part of it
You'll burn up in the end
You'll burn up in the end
You'll burn out what you use
Did you get what you needed?
