about

Written and recorded by Sam Davis

lyrics

i hear your footsteps behind my door
and i know that this means more than before
i see the scars above your skin
and i can see just what it takes to breathe in

well i know this isn’t about me
but i still feel lost between what i can’t see
i know your pain makes sense to you
but it hurts for me to know there’s nothing i can do

but it hurts
it hurts
to watch you burn away

every minute of the day
you’re counting the seconds
you’re counting the calories
counting the steps between you and me
before you’re stripped away
all by yourself
you don’t need anyone else
to reignite the fire

you're gonna start the fire

you’re puppet in your own show
an actress directing what she doesn’t know
tripping along, slipping along
repressed memories
dancing away, trying to shake off
the nothing you eat

every minute of the day
you’re counting the seconds
you’re counting the calories
counting the steps between you and me
before you’re stripped away
all by yourself
you don’t need anyone else
to reignite the fire

you're gonna start the fire

and i’ll try to find
the corner of your mind
i’ll keep trying to find
if there’s anything left behind

so i can turn off the light
put out the fire in your eyes
before you start the fire
you’re gonna start the fire
i can’t stop the fire
