Roundhouse romance (part 2)
Roundhouse romance. There are four homes within roundhouse romance. 2) Fire. They say don't play with fire. They say you'll get hurt if you play with fire, you might hurt others if you play with fire. A moth to the flame, drawn into your game. Eager to press start. You were a risk, a challenge intimidating and bright I've never seen a glow that felt so right, so safe to touch but this isn't nearly enough. They say don't play with fire, I pressed start. They say you'll get hurt, your purification burns to my satisfaction. They say you'll hurt others, you're so bright I can't even see anyone else around insight.
