On Fire (Jamie Paige)

from Fourth Strike Song Jam 2021 by Fourth Strike Records

Written and performed by Jamie Paige (https://jamiepaige.bandcamp.com)

my heart's been broken up for far too long
been tired of tryin' to find a self in song
i'm not beguiled by a stagnant life
but there's no passion left and god knows why

but i got this feeling
so small but i hear it screaming
so easy to get the meaning
of a feeling oh so healing
and baby you're no denier
let the feeling take you higher
come and step into the pyre
you're the one that i desire

(so light that shit on FIRE)
burn it till the flame burns blue
and feel the feeling felt for you
together we'll be something new
(is it disaster? maybe!
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE!)
the pyre reaches towards the sky
a feeling felt for you and i
so take your wounds and cauterize
(come flick the lighter, baby
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE)

i can see the ember in your eyes
and all the things you feel you have to hide
so let the fire burn away those lies
and from the ashes, watch the phoenix rise

could it be much clearer?
when we pull each other nearer
come and look into the mirror
baby, you don't need to fear her
an electrifying sunbeam
that'll wake you from your bad dream
and a love that'll make our soul scream
(holy SHIT is that a motherfucking BLASEBALL REFERENCE)

(so light that shit on FIRE)
burn it till the flame burns blue
and feel the feeling felt for you
together we'll be something new
(is it disaster? maybe!
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE!)
the passion of the bonfire roar
my darling you can be much more
i'll show you what the fire is for
(committing arson, baby
LIGHT THAT SHIT ON FIRE)

come flick the lighter baby
light that shit on fire, fire
(repeat like 5 million times)
