[Intro]

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]

When I was a child, I heard voices

Some would sing and some would scream

You soon find you have few choices

I learned the voices died with me

When I was a child, I'd sit for hours

Staring into open flame, something in it had a power

Could barely tear my eyes away

[Chorus]

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons

But always keep them on a leash

[Post-Chorus]

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 2]

When I was sixteen, my senses fooled me

Thought gasoline was on my clothes

I knew that something would always rule me

I knew this scent was mine alone

[Chorus]

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons

Always keep them on a leash

[Bridge]

When I was a man, I thought it ended

When I knew love's perfect ache

But my peace has always depended

On all the ashes in my wake

[Chorus]

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons

But always keep them on a leash
