Lyrics Burn - Joelistics

Burn

I get fresh with friends who get gassed
Who flash and flake out and talk with long gaps
Words in their mouth like planes that crash
I only catch half, but it’s mostly trash
, lost without a map
And there’s no turnin' back, ‘cause I’m full of the stuff
A one-way ticket and I get on the bus
I’m a wing-tipped Icarus, burnin' up
My tummy’s in a knot, but I’m lovin' the rush
I’m full of the love made from chemical dust
So I keep focused, give into the process
I pray for atonement and stay in the moment
Big smile
Wide eyed
Call up
Long nights
Burn like sun
Shine all day
Work and run
Don’t throw it away
Now the dance floor’s packed with bodies that attract
Bodies that attack, bodies bend at the back
Bodies get trapped, bodies fill in the gap
So many bodies move, now who’s body’s that?
Hearts get open, cracked with raw emotion
Words get spoken, corrupted by potions
Snapshot moments, back to slow motion
Slick sugar-coating over all of the commotion
Tomorrow, this’ll be a memory in quick-time
‘Cause we trick time, with a quick mind
And like bats in the sky, we fly blind
Swim through the night, washed up in the sunshine
No sleep
Sad eyes
Black days
Good signs
Help me get out of here
Help me get out of here
Burn like sun
Shine all day
Work and run
Don’t throw it away
Maybe we met at a party
In the bathroom, with Charlie
In the bedroom, you were asking
Why the moon would hide its face
Box me up, put me down
Tie me and turn it ‘round
Throw me out, give it away
What was your name?
Burn like sun
Shine all day
Work and run
Don’t throw it away
Don’t throw it all away
