I want a matchbook so I can burn
Your bridges down so that you could never return
I guess that both of us will never learn
You hold your hands close to your chest
About to strike with all the power you possess
I don’t know who you’re trying to impress
But it’s not me
You can bring on the night
Put your hands up and fight
We can do this tonight
We can do this tonight
I will never retreat
Never admit defeat
I got my feet on the ground
And I won’t back down
You are at the bottom of this heap
And you’re one step away from being in too deep
Scream all you want, man, talk is cheap
I’ll start a riot if that's what it takes
Storming your defenses ‘till you start to shake
And realize that this was just a big mistake
But no, no, no
[Chorus x2]
If it’s a problem not worth solving
There’s the big door that’s revolving
You better run before you’re crawling
Crawling away
Like the lost and lonesome boy
That broke down all his toys
In the rapture of the noise
It leads us to destroy
[Chorus]
