A Fire in The Mine

i'm burnt out. like a corpse in a campfire.

all i got is time. there is something.

in the eyes of a child.

it may rust and fade.

but it can never die.

if i knew then everything that i know now i'd never blink again.

i'm caught in a nose dive.

no one escapes. no one makes it out alive.

just like a fire in the mine.

you can't make me go home.

i don't need a hand to hold.

when i'm ready to go.

you will be the first to know and i will see that this place is laid to waste.

ain't it a shame.

i've been wearing my heart taped on my sleeve.

i'm not afraid of the dark.

but i'm wary of sleep.

i'm dried up.

like the corpse of a vampire.

time is on my side.

i know i am burning.

i can't feel the flames, but you can see the smoke for miles.

just like a fire in the mine.

you can't make me go home.

i don't need a hand to hold.

when i'm ready to go. you will be the first to know.

hell no, i won't do what i'm told.

'cuz i know, i'll be dead before i'm old.

and i will see that this place.

is laid to waste.

ain't it a shame.

ain't it a shame.

ain't it a shame.

maybe i'm to blame.

i've changed now, like it's the curse of the full moon.

the night is mine.

i'm like a werewolf, with the mind of a child.

you can plead and cry. all i can do is smile.

if i could teach you everything that i know now, you'd never breathe again.

we've been stepping on landmines.

we've made mistakes, and now we're gonna fucking die.

a bullet between the eyes.

you can't make me go home.

i don't need a hand to hold.

when i'm ready to go, you will be the first to know.

and i will see that this place is laid to waste.

and they will rue the day, as we dance upon their graves. ain't it a shame.

baby not to me
