With firewater I play
Seeing how close I stray
To a state of decay
I look and I won't see
Causing true love to flee
Changing self-worth to debris
With firewater I play
Seeing how close I stray
To a state of decay
I see and I don't cease
Teasing without surcease
Thirst I cannot appease
With firewater I play
Seeing how close I stray
To a state of decay
I fall down when I play
Ones near and dear dismay
Life and love disarray
With firewater I play
Seeing how close I stray
To a state of decay
I’m flirting with trouble
My game down I double
Turning life to rubble
With firewater I play
Seeing how close I stray
To a state of decay
A taste of nectar sip
Even strongest could slip
Losing on life a grip
With firewater I play
Seeing how close I stray
To a state of decay
