Lyrics

Fear Is Like Fire

[Verse 1]

Fear is like fire

You can warm your hands on it

Mmm

Fear is like fire

You can burn your house down with it

You can watch it burn

[Chorus]

Yeah

Yeah, you can light it

Mmm, you can light it

You can light it

Or you can utilize it

[Verse 2]

You can peel back the layers

Find what's underneath of us

Peel back the layers

One by one, everyone

Will reveal a side of us

[Chorus]

Yeah

Yeah, you can light it

Mmm, you can light it

You can light it

Yeah, or you can utilize it

As long as it don't go out

[Verse 3]

Here we are

At the point of no return

Fear is like fire

You can watch it burn

You can watch it burn

Mmm

You can watch it

You can warm your hands on it

Warm your hands on it

You can warm it up

You can warm your hands on it
