You need the fire 

I'm yours to admire 

You will never desire a heart so molten 

With smoke billowing out 

The heat makes you shout 

Run from the flames 

They will consume everything 

It's a savage in a sweet package 

I'm yours to ravish 

Don't be fooled I'm a disaster 

But a master at skills that will 

Give you chills 

I'll make you weak 

And melt and weep 

I'll destroy every thought you wanted to keep 

Nothing survives the fire 

A tricky flame to acquire 

And when I'm done and you're ashes 

Just remember this feeling passes 

I'll rebuild you tomorrow from the remains

fire flesh love passion obsession
