Play With Fire

Submitted by Shelby Pryor on Tue, 2023-04-11 21:01

I've always had a taste for danger
For laying it all out on the line
I've never been scared of pain
I just want to take what's mine

It isn't in my blood to shy away
From the pain I feel before success
I simply want to reach all my goals
And I will accept nothing less

I've always gotten a certain thrill
From risking a walk on the high wire
I guess I just love the rush involved
I've always liked to Play With Fire
