| Burn bright
|
| Burn bright
|
| If your head’s in the clouds
|
| Even if you’re searching for angels
|
| You best look around
|
| Because tripping on the curb can be painful
|
| And if you get left on the ground
|
| Sitting in the dirt will degrade you
|
| A lot of people resent looking down
|
| So they’re indifferent, they turn not to face you
|
| I’m figuring the words to explain to myself
|
| How this is what the world really came to
|
| And I think I’m on the verge of a breakthrough
|
| Or a meltdown, can’t certainly say
|
| Who knows where I’m headed
|
| I don’t even recall where I’ve been
|
| Lucky I record everything
|
| Absorb everything
|
| Pick mics up
|
| Pause and breathe in, then spill my guts
|
| And I don’t know why I do ignore the reason
|
| I just feel I must
|
| People ask what inspires me, real life does
|
| Cliché but its still right
|
| Trust, just
|
| Let the metronome sweep
|
| Any old beat, watch as I go deep
|
| Keep it in the red hope the level don’t peak
|
| Nightmare at Elm Street
|
| Bet I don’t sleep
|
| The sound of the harp, sweet
|
| Temper that with a pound of a hard beat
|
| And my heart leaps
|
| All the way up to sharp peaks
|
| No pierced tongue
|
| But I do admit scarred speech
|
| Preach
|
| Uh, maybe I’m a chronic
|
| Melancholic
|
| Never gonna stop it
|
| Maybe there’s no use begging for the tonic
|
| But as soon as it controls you
|
| Then you’ve got to drop it
|
| Graduated from the old school
|
| Yes it was with honors
|
| Taught me all I know
|
| Two lessons were the strongest
|
| Nobody owes you
|
| Never was it promised
|
| And if it’s not the whole truth then it’s probably gossip
|
| Uh, so never mind the bollocks
|
| I said goodbye to what was holding me back before
|
| I don’t need that no more
|
| Letting loose and boost up the juice like a nuclear reactor core
|
| Saying that doesn’t seem that mature but I mean that for sure
|
| I’m amped, ample
|
| Because all the darkness in the world couldn’t block out the light of just one
|
| small candle
|
| So burn as bright as you can do
|
| Dwell on that for a minute
|
| Burn bright
|
| Burn bright
|
| Burn bright
|
| Burn bright |
