lyrics

I am an animal hungry and wild
I wander the dark
And circle the fire
You lit a match
With your hand on my back
Pulling me close
Had my heart in my throat
Now I can't go back
I want to

But when you touch my skin
I have no defense
I'm not gonna fight against it
I want to
I want to

Make me a criminal
Put me on trial
Tell me I'm guilty
Lay me out on the pyre
With a match
Put your hand on my back
Baby burn me down slow
Down to the bone
Won't you make it last

And when you touch my skin
I have no defense
Don't care about the consequences
I want to

I want to
I want to
Burn me down easy baby, take your time
Leave nothing but bone and ashes behind
Burn me down easy
Burn me down slow
Leaving nothing but smoke, ashes, and bone
Burn me down baby
Burn me down baby
Burn me
Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive
I want to yea
I want you to
I want to
Oh
Alive
Alive
Alive
I want to yea
I want you to
