A heart of stone, a smoking gun

I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun

I'm working it out, I'm working

Why'd you feel so underrated?

Why'd you feel so negated?

♪ ♪ ♪

Turning away from the light, becoming adult

Turning into myself

I wanted to bite, not destroy, to feel her underneath

Turning into the light

She don't think straight

♪ ♪ ♪

No, no, no, she don't think straight

♪ ♪ ♪

She got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops

And you don't taste like her and you never ever will

And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news

Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled

Turning away from the light, becoming adult

Turning into my soul

I wanted to bite, not destroy, to feel her underneath

Turning into the light

And if you feel (And if you feel)

A little left behind (A little left behind)

We will wait for you on the other side

And if you feel (And if you feel)

A little left behind (A little left behind)

We will wait for you on the other side

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause you know I'm on fire when you come

'Cause you know I'm on fire

'Cause you know I'm on fire, so stomp me out

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause I'm on fire

'Cause I'm on fire

A heart of stone, a smoking gun I can give you life, I can take it away A heart of stone, a smoking gun I'm working it out, I'm working Why'd you feel so underrated? Why'd you feel so negated? Turning away from the light, becoming adult Turning into myself I wanted to bite, not destroy, to feel her underneath Turning into the light She don't think straight No, no, no, she don't think straight She got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops And you don't taste like her and you never ever will And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled Turning away from the light, becoming adult Turning into my soul I wanted to bite, not destroy, to feel her underneath Turning into the light And if you feel (And if you feel) A little left behind (A little left behind) We will wait for you on the other side And if you feel (And if you feel) A little left behind (A little left behind) We will wait for you on the other side 'Cause I'm on fire 'Cause you know I'm on fire when you come 'Cause you know I'm on fire 'Cause you know I'm on fire, so stomp me out 'Cause I'm on fire 'Cause I'm on fire 'Cause I'm on fire 'Cause I'm on fire
