Red light's burning
Through the blind
Taunting me with stories
Of friends left behind
And about this girl
That I've long since admired
What better recipe than full moon and fire
Shadow puppets
Dancing with me
Breaking my spirits
Yet keeping me company
By raising my hopes
With promising lies
Convincing me I'm better off alone in this disguise
If I wanted you to change
You'd dig your heels in and stay the same
Every time I escape
It's like I'm jumping from cage to cage
I don't want to be absorbed by this illusion of you
I don't want to be absorbed by this illusion of you
Sunlight's creeping
Through the frame
Wrapping up the stories of the long night that came
And went
And took you away
Like a flame in a bottle
You flickered and swayed
Dance until morning
And leave before daybreak
If I wanted you to change
You'd dig your heels in and stay the same
Every time I escape
It's like I'm running from maze to maze
I don't want to be absorbed by this illusion of you
I don't want to be absorbed by this illusion of you
Full moon and fire
Full moon and fire
Red light's burning through the blind
Taunting me with stories of friends left behind
And about this girl that I've long since admired
What better recipe than full moon and fire
