about
Fire Breather reveals the moment in an argument where a statement is misinterpreted and emotions take over the ability to think logically. The internal struggle between knowing one has a good heart and trying to see clearly when feeling wronged plays out through the dynamic energy of the band’s live R&B inspired performance and the power of Schultz’s fiery vocal. Culminating in a high-octane guitar solo, Fire Breather takes you through the stages of anger while still trying to remain introspective and hopeful.
[VERSE 1]
It was something you said
That hit me the wrong way
No I’d never leave you for dead
But you got me feelin’ ashamed
[PRE-Chorus 1]
There goes my pride
Took an arrow to the chest, baby why?
You know I start getting crazy inside
Once it starts take your heart and go hide
Or stand and fight
[Chorus]
Grab your shield, grab your sword
‘Cause you never know what we’re fighting for
Out for blood, I’m at war
Always seeing red deep down to the core
I try to bite you with my words, hit you ‘til it hurts
I’ll take it all the way from bad to worse
Better run when you see her
‘Cause I’m a fire breather
Mmm
[VERSE 2]
I don’t recall what you said
But now I’m in too deep
So I scream and holler instead
Try to cut you ‘til you bleed
[PRE-Chorus 2]
Insanity
Try to put the blame on you and not me
I wanna burn you ‘til the third degree
‘Til we’re bruised and confused; can’t you see
The monster’s free?
[Chorus]
Grab your shield, grab your sword
‘Cause you never know what we’re fighting for
Out for blood, I’m at war
Always seeing red deep down to the core
I try to bite you with my words, hit you ‘til it hurts
I’ll take it all the way from bad to worse
Better run when you see her
‘Cause I’m a fire breather
[BRIDGE]
I don’t know why
My golden heart’s been locked inside
Though I try
To let it speak and let it shine
Something lurks in the dark
In the nervous shadows that lights a spark
It grabs my tongue and it takes my lungs
And before you know it we’re torn apart
Ohh
[Chorus + TAG]
So grab your shield, grab your sword
‘Cause you never know what we’re fighting for
Out for blood, I’m at war
Always seeing red deep down to the core
I try to bite you with my words, hit you ‘til it hurts
I’ll take it all the way from bad to worse
Better run when you see her
You better run when you see her, baby
Better run when you see her
[OUTRO]
You better run now, na-na-na
You better run
Run, yeah yeah
Run away, run away no-ow-ow-ow
(Oh, fire breather, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, fire breather, yeah, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, fire breather, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, fire breather, yeah, oh-ohh)
