growing up.

there was a fire burning in us we put it out with alcohol and cigarettes we put it out with late nights and bum fights we put it out with our bodies making love under starlight oh and how that fire burned while we yearned for forbidden things our parents never tell. there was a fire burning in us, and we walked through hell. there was a fire burning, in our eyes you saw it glimmering ya we threw up, but we grew up, and now the fire’s only simmering.
