Play With Fire

from Making Monsters by My Fair Fiend

/

lyrics

I find it hard to keep my self control
‘cause you don’t give me any reason
I’ll tell you anything you wanna know
All of my dirty dark secrets
So find me
Oh, find me my home
And then I’ll burn it down with matches
‘cause you know we shouldn’t be left alone
Or we’ll make angels in its ashes

Swimming distance from the shore
Strap my feet and stay aboard
As I face the ocean floor
I will never leave this boat
Water rising all around
Elevates my fear to drown
Still I let it pull me down
‘cause it feels better not to float

I find it hard to keep myself away
I’ve been known to play with fire
I told myself I wasn’t gonna stay
But you keep making me a liar
So show me
Show me how
How you can turn off all emotion
‘cause you know this should end right now
Or we’ll start sinking in the ocean

Swimming distance from the shore
Strap my feet and stay aboard
As I face the ocean floor
I will never leave this boat
Water rising all around
Elevates my fear to drown
Still I let it pull me down
‘cause it feels better not to float

I drink the sour and sweet like lemonade
I feel the sting as you pull the bandaid
I’m stuck thinking ‘bout future memories
And all the ones that I let slip by me
A memory for every single wasted day
A memory for everything that went the wrong way
A memory for every dream that I gave up
A memory for every girl I never got to love
I’ve got a heart that was made for polygamy
An adolescent echo ripe with envy
I can show you how resolve will atrophy
How self destruction never really did hurt me

Swimming distance from the shore
Strap my feet and stay aboard
As I face the ocean floor
I will never leave this boat
Water rising all around
Elevates my fear to drown
Still I let it pull me down
‘cause it feels better not to float

about

My Fair Fiend Utah

With haunting vocal melodies floating over instrumental syncopation that dances playfully then diverges into discordant rock, My Fair Fiend displays a kind of intense fragility that is uniquely theirs.
My Fair Fiend was founded in 2013 in Orem, Utah by Callie Crofts (lead vocals/guitar/songwriting) and Zac Bryant (Drums).
