| And I’m a kid with a history of confusion
|
| The life that was pushed upon me
|
| Was one I could never lead
|
| Cause my candle burns at both ends
|
| My problems never seem to end
|
| Just like my footsteps in the vein of the American night
|
| Just like the burning in my lungs
|
| Just like the rocks in my guts
|
| Just like I can’t get enough
|
| With persistence of my vision
|
| With this bottle in my hand
|
| I bless the thieves who stole my masks
|
| I wander this land and through it all…
|
| I drag my chains, they don’t drag me…
|
| Through moments of pain
|
| I drag my chains, they don’t drag me…
|
| Through moments of grace
|
| I drag my chains, they don’t drag me…
|
| Through untamed thoughts
|
| I drag my chains, they don’t drag me
|
| I walk right through
|
| Cause my candle burns at both ends
|
| My problems never seem to end
|
| Just like my footsteps in the veins of the American night
|
| Just like fire in my lungs
|
| Just like the burning in my guts
|
| Just like I can’t get enough
|
| Only the madman is wise in a world of cold logical minds
|
| I seed no shelter
|
| I emerge unscathed
|
| As propaganda rains down even harder
|
| I become that much stronger
|
| I walk right through |
