Minute On Fire - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 loopIn my mind

But what business does an animal without a soul

Have to concern itself with mine?

[Pre-Chorus]

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!”

[Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus 2]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus 2]

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
