Analysis of The match
I find myself lighting the matches more often than you would think
I hold them watching as they burn closer to my fingertips
one day I know this will lead to my demise as it has led to others
yet everyday I find it harder to care as the fire burns brighter in front of me
I can't do anything but accept it as it's too late
I brought myself into this situation
I can't get our now
I know.
