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
