Never lose your flames


My favorite people told me

Not to lose my fucking flames

I'm not playing games

My passion will not be tamed

 

Yeah I'll go to school

Please my mother

Ease the smothers

And the pressures to be perfect

Will exist like no other

 

But my favorite people told me

To can give myself a chance

To make peace with my pain

And never lose my flames

 

I listen to their juices

And inject it through my veins

I overdose and am so close

To being on the right roads
