Already On Fire

(album: The Owl - 2019)

She was a orphan girl
Left out on her lonesome in a cruel world
She was thumbing out from Vegas off a Staten curse
In this town full of ashes, I knew I'd found a pearl
Found a pearl

The heat of summertime
We were passionate, restless and we were running wild
There was no one could touch us, yeah, her heart was mine
She was ready to rev' it and she was looking fine
Looking fine

And she burned something beautiful
Yeah, the burn now is unstoppable
'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire
She's not going down unless she's going down in flames
'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire

(On fire)

The smell of gasoline
Her smile reflected the fire in a smell of gasoline
She's a smoke show, erasing like you ain't ever seen
She was ready to rev' it and she was looking mean
Looking mean

Yeah, we burned something beautiful
It burns and it's unstoppable
'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire
She's not going down unless she's going down in flames
'Cause you can't light a match that's already on fire

Her silhouette's a vision
As she's walking from the flames
In a force of raw destruction
From an early age
No one knew what happened
The night they found her crying
A smoky mess in a tiny orphanage
As the flames were rising higher

You can't light a match that's already on fire
No, you can't take it back once you've crossed that wire
She's not going down unless she's going down in flames
No, you can't light a match that's already on fire
