[Chorus]

We all dance with the devil someday, somehow

And I found him up in my head, just running around

I know it sounds wild, on top of the world

And you tryna climb down before you fall headfirst

It’s too bad, I was staring at my watch hand ticking

And hanging head 'bout the future like it’s already written

Every moment we write it, a moving pen on a page

It’s too much, I don’t like to think

I feel my brain on fire


[Verse]

Okay I grew up with my head in the clouds like a giant

Just like Jack on the stalk was climbing high as the sky is

Now I’m Jack-in-the-Box wound up, timely reminders

That we’re not shit, left brain toxic

I was a hop skip and a jump from really losing my shit

Puffing vegetables in the garden with some regular kids

Through the night, sat shotty, thinking this can’t be life

Nineteen and felt like I can’t do nothing right

You don’t talk right, you don’t ever sit up straight

You don’t walk right, son, you got a fucked up face

Thoughts circle in my mind like a leaf in your spokes

A day came that the funny man ran outta jokes

Smoke and mirrors, cheap illusions inside of your skull

To have you peeking through your blinds and declining your calls

If the boogey man came back I’d tell ‘em to move

I mean really, what else can you do?


[Chorus]

We all dance with the devil someday, somehow

And I found him up in my head, just running around

I know it sounds wild, on top of the world

And you tryna climb down before you fall headfirst

It’s too bad, I was staring at my watch hand ticking

And hanging head 'bout the future like it’s already written

Every moment we write it, a moving pen on a page

It’s too much, I don’t like to think

I feel my brain on fire


[Refrain]

I feel my brain on fire

Brain on fire

I feel my brain on fire

Brain on fire

I feel my brain on fire

Brain on fire
