The Northern

Matches

Drawn to your crooked smile
Like a drug, adorn with desire
Drain the air right from my lungs
Breathe the smoke, it's just begun

Is this really the person that I am?
Saving left over scraps to love again?

I built you up, fought the world to call you mine.
We’ll speak as one, maybe for the last time.

We're shaking the earth, it's just you and me now
And you lit the match, let your fucking bridges bur
Let your bridges burn

Graze my skin with your hollow eyes
Your shaky voice comes as no surprise
Build me up, tear me down
Lets go again for one more round

How far would you really let this play?
Before you knew, I wouldn’t fucking stay?

I built you up, fought the world to call you mine.
I speak alone, hoping for one last time

We're shaking the earth, it's just you and me now
And you lit the match, let your fucking bridges burn

How can you adore the image of a ghost?
What do you take me for, a fool without hope?
I stand in front of you as you fall to the ground
I built it all for you, burn your bridges down
Burn

Build me up, tear me down
Let's go again for one more round
Build me up, tear me down
Till we're six feet underground
