about

Quick little song about how fun it is to be consumed by a lover while being built up by said lover.

lyrics

Temperature falls, Here inside these walls
Until you come to melt them down
Mercury will rise, In between your eyes
Hope that you don't let me drown

When my mind is numb with worry, And my eyes are tired and blurry
You set my blood on fire, My body is your empire
And you brighten up my soul, Like a little lump of coal
Because you're smokin hot, And fill my mind with dirty thoughts

Burn me to the ground, Leave no traces to be found
Scattered to the wind, Build me up then burn me down, burn me down, Again

When you're feeling down, I will be around,
I can make your spirits rise,
When you're sad and blue, I'll reach out to you,
And I'll take you to your prize,

It's a secret only we'll share, I won't spoil how we get there
No details in the light, But just you wait until tonight
I won't promise you a new day, But I promise you if you lay
Your body next to mine, I'll keep it working overtime

Burn me to the ground, Leave no traces to be found
Scattered to the wind, Build me up then burn me down, burn me down;
Burn me to the ground, Leave no traces to be found
Scattered to the wind, Build me up then burn me down, burn me down, Again
And Again
And Again
