The Boy Who Cried Fire by Koyal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If a tear drop starts to fall
Would you let it rain
Or would you runaway
Like I did
If a tear drop starts a fire
Would you let it blaze
Or would you hold it in
Like I did
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Spiral out while I’m caving in
Sharpen my tongue, cuts on paper skin
Never cried, but I lie like a hypocrite
Block it out so I won’t get hurt
Scream out loud where I can’t be heard
Play with fire ‘cause I’m scared to get burned
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna show my face
I don’t wanna share my faith
Just leave me be, I like the pain
Of feeling no feeling
A stone for a heart can't chip away
Paranoia for a brain, It’s my hideaway
Be my own best friend, But I can’t escape
The feelings I’m feeling
Never meant to start a spark
But now I burn
[Verse 2]
A riot raging in
Taking over me
Know what you're thinking
Wish I had more sympathy
But I give and I give and I gave
Then the pain when it came, came delayed
Scars they don’t fade, here to stay
Morphine apathy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Spiral out while I’m caving in
Sharpen my tongue, cuts on paper skin
Never cried, but I lie like a hypocrite
Open window, it rushes in
All that I've done, broken promises
Didn’t mean to hurt you, but somehow I did
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna show my face
I don’t wanna share my faith
Just leave me be, I like the pain
Of feeling no feeling
A stone for a heart can't chip away
Paranoia for a brain, It’s my hideaway
Be my own best friend, But I can’t escape
The feelings I’m feeling
Never meant to start a spark
But now I burn
[Instrumental]
If a tear drop starts to fall
Would you let it rain
Or would you runaway
Like I did
If a tear drop starts a fire
Would you let it blaze
Or would you hold it in
Like I did
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Spiral out while I’m caving in
Sharpen my tongue, cuts on paper skin
Never cried, but I lie like a hypocrite
Block it out so I won’t get hurt
Scream out loud where I can’t be heard
Play with fire ‘cause I’m scared to get burned
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna show my face
I don’t wanna share my faith
Just leave me be, I like the pain
Of feeling no feeling
A stone for a heart can't chip away
Paranoia for a brain, It’s my hideaway
Be my own best friend, But I can’t escape
The feelings I’m feeling
Never meant to start a spark
But now I burn
[Verse 2]
A riot raging in
Taking over me
Know what you're thinking
Wish I had more sympathy
But I give and I give and I gave
Then the pain when it came, came delayed
Scars they don’t fade, here to stay
Morphine apathy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Spiral out while I’m caving in
Sharpen my tongue, cuts on paper skin
Never cried, but I lie like a hypocrite
Open window, it rushes in
All that I've done, broken promises

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna show my face
I don’t wanna share my faith
Just leave me be, I like the pain
Of feeling no feeling
A stone for a heart can't chip away
Paranoia for a brain, It’s my hideaway
Be my own best friend, But I can’t escape
The feelings I’m feeling
Never meant to start a spark
But now I burn
[Instrumental]
