Strike the Match

I've been sitting in the dark too long

Humming somebody else's song

Waiting for a sign, waiting for a spark

But nothing comes to those who wait in the dark

So I reach into my pocket

Feel the rough red head

I've got nothing left to lose

Nothing left unsaid

I strike the match, I light the flame

If I go down, I go down in blaze

I'm done with playing safe, done with the grey

I strike the match, and I walk away

From everything that kept me small

I'm answering the fire's call

They said be careful, don't you burn

Play the game, wait your turn

But waiting turned my bones to stone

And I'd rather burn than turn to stone alone

So I hold it to the kindling

Watch the smoke rise high

Every fear I ever had

Catching in the sky

I strike the match, I light the flame

If I go down, I go down in blaze

I'm done with playing safe, done with the grey

I strike the match, and I walk away

From everything that kept me small

I'm answering the fire's call

Let it burn, let it burn

Everything that wasn't true

Let it burn, let it burn

I'm becoming something new

Strike the match...

Here it goes...

Fire...
