Streamers and sparklers Red,white and blue bruised skin Spangled and screaming Pigments bursting within You know how to light my fire Crimson and cobalt desire With every single touch The feeling is growing rough Sequins fill holes in the sky True colors are flying high Chorus: On my own, I burned so bright Ignite me without the light Nothing has been the same Since you extinguished my flame A match without a spark And a stranger in the dark Saluting and summers Damaged, used and left rubbed raw Seeing stars and stripes Explosions leave me in awe You are heaven and hell That's the reason I fell Living was bad and nice In a white hot paradise Nation's flag waves with pride Melting on the inside Chorus: On my own, I burned so bright Ignite me without the light Nothing has been the same Since you extinguished my flame A match without a spark And a stranger in the dark Glittering fireworks die down Crying when no one is around On my own, I burned so bright Ignite me without the light Nothing has felt the same Since you extinguished my flame A match without a spark Unknown stranger in the dark

Fourth of July
Streamers and sparklers Red,white and blue bruised skin Spangled and screaming Pigments bursting within You know how to light my fire Crimson and cobalt desire With every single touch The feeling is growing rough Sequins fill holes in the sky True colors are flying high Chorus: On my own, I burned so bright Ignite me without the light Nothing has been the same Since you extinguished my flame A match without a spark And a stranger in the dark Saluting and summers Damaged, used and left rubbed raw Seeing stars and stripes Explosions leave me in awe You are heaven and hell That's the reason I fell Living was bad and nice In a white hot paradise Nation's flag waves with pride Melting on the inside Chorus: On my own, I burned so bright Ignite me without the light Nothing has been the same Since you extinguished my flame A match without a spark And a stranger in the dark Glittering fireworks die down Crying when no one is around On my own, I burned so bright Ignite me without the light Nothing has felt the same Since you extinguished my flame A match without a spark Unknown stranger in the dark
I was going to publish this on the fourth of July but I just couldn't wait.
