Tinderbox, this place is a tinderbox
Tinderbox, no case it's a tinderbox
Tinderbox, no grace it's a tinderbox

problems 
We can take flight, there's only water 
And earth, wind and fire to help and to hinder us 
Tinderbox hearts to light a spark in this wilderness

coasting on a winning streak
We were kings until the power failed

We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off

We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off

As my story arc is
Ready to unfold
I am a tinderbox
So go ahead and light me up
It's just an afterthought
To watch me
Burn, burn, burn
I'll place

on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all

me wanna cry
I could tell all my friends I'm alright
But that would be a lie
Cuz thing is my tinderbox heart caught fire
When I caught feelings

explanation
Running out of time
I'm running out of patience
Tinderbox waiting for my indignation
Down down round
Wreck your reputation
Everywhere you go

having
The time of our lives
It's a tinderbox ready to blow
It's the very last night of the show
It's a doomsday scenario
With mere minutes to midnight

are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
How heavy you are on this faded hatch

a tinderbox
One love to the world
Here we go let's set it off, yeah

Hey baby
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
You're 'bout to go crazy
Run around

tinderbox 
Will ignite someday 
To burn you down in its fiery veil

For all those lies, all those tainted hearts
All those teardrops
All those stolen
All

of youth sloughed off
Distilled until I drink it up
It cannot make me blind enough

A Santa Ana blowing though your soul
A tinderbox you carry round
And when

Telling everybody how it's going to be

Soon come, soon come the day this tinderbox 
Is gonna blow in your face
I don't have the gift

On the way to the bidet is when the trouble used to start
It didn't mean she wasn't queen of the tinderbox that was his heart
Her fire, his desire

On the way to the bidet

It didn't mean she wasn't queen
Of the tinderbox that was his heart

Her fire his desire

In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light
The smallest of sparks
He's a tinderbox, he's a flaming torch
Pinch your self quite hard, in a place

at the bottom of my glass
Made it clear what they had said
"His devil's hear in a tinder-box,
This dog has turned away"
Well, I can't remember god when I'm...

I live in a tinderbox
And just one spark
Sets the whole thing off
And sometimes I see
The light die within me
And the flame go out
Leave me in

Is this the first time you’ve skipped town
With a tinderbox of postcards, to a place of no renown?
And did you forget to pay your dues
To the man who

And we've burned down natures door
The mountains are a tinderbox 
Just waitin' for a flood
Soon she'll burn up in smoke
And the leaves will turn

and chippèd like an old tinderbox
Pour me anxiety and fear on the rocks
I'm sick and tired of swapping my old addictions
For my way/highway deep state-sponsored

Smoke and fire are burning bright,
We'll set the tinderbox alight.
Rising from the ashes the phoenix lives,
Life and death the red flame gives.
