Lyric

Call me fire

I burn when you look

But don’t touch me

I’ll scorch if you breathe close

My soul’s turned into ashes

My nails stained red from fight

You kissed me in a hurry

I forgot you without spite

I’m not your saint

Nor your curse to bear—

I’m what you can’t understand

The poison in the air

Call me fire

But don’t put me out

I’m not your heaven

I’m the flame you can’t doubt

Call me queen

Though I wear no crown

I walk alone

But the moon calls me down

I carry blood of women

Who never bowed or fell

My grandmother wept silent tears

I learned to fight my hell

Don’t call me crazy

If you can’t read my code—

I write on skin

What the soul can’t hold

If I fall again

Let me fall dancing

If I have to love

Let me tremble in longing

Call me fire

But don’t put me out

I’m not your heaven

I’m the flame you can’t doubt

Call me queen

Though I wear no crown

I walk alone

But the moon calls me down

Call me fire

And burn with me in the dark
