Minute On Fire

There is a shadow that hides in the walls

It’s there everyday waiting to strangle us all

You might not see it coming, in fact you usually won’t

And you hope that it’ll unwrap its hands from your throat

Sometimes the days just drift away

Sometimes it’s hard to see the way

Through all the noise, through all the waste

And that’s the way we burn

Wake up

I’m burning alive

‘Cause it’s like a killing desire

So messed up

You’d trade your whole life

For a fucking minute on fire

There’s a black cat staring back at me

Every time I look outside

I don’t know his agenda but I tend to be reminded of mistakes I’ve made

They play on a loop

In my mind

But what business does an animal without a soul have to concern itself with mine?

Sometimes the days just drift away

Sometimes it’s hard to see the way

And I know I could save today or go insane today, I guess I’ll never learn

And when I try a voice inside’s always screaming

Fuck it, watch me burn!

Wake up

I’m burning alive

Cause it’s like a killing desire

So messed up

You’d trade your whole life

For a fucking minute on fire

You’ll never know

You’ll never know

How far you’ll go

Until you’re right on the verge and end up cutting the wire

For a minute on fire
