Lyrics

Building a Fire

I'm building a fire

A flame for always

I'm living on fire

A flame for always

I'm living like fire

A flame for always

I'm building a fire

A flame for always

I'm living like fire

A flame for always

How long to go

Before this flame dies

How long to burn

Before I blaze away

I blaze away

So long to all my friends

And those who taunted me

To those who lead me on

To those who...
