[Verse 1]

Fire, fire

It's  bright as hell tonight!

Grim,  but I've separated life from my body

Too slow; all of my million years down here

I volunteer!

It's  now; the crowd, and all this heresy

No  complainin', it’s where I wanted to be!

“Look here, kid, it's easy

Long  as you don't go to sleep”


[Bridge]

Slow down

I breathe then spit it out

At best, you're another arm reachin', clawin' for my throat

But  soon your lights ll'go out

And it's me at the scene!

You were cut, you were carefree

It's your turn, wannabe

Go on'na be

Follow you, swallow you whole

Is that your best?!


[Chorus]

If I survive tonight, would it be alright

With the devil inside of my head?

If I swallow my pride, kiss reason goodbye

Tell me is it better to breathe instead?

If you'd only show me

Am I doomed to stay insane?

If I shut my eyes, I'll pick up my lives, and run away


[Verse 2]

Stop, rewind

There's somethin' happenin' here

It's beginnin' to look a little familiar

I can't second guess or stop panicking!

Face to face, and I can't clear my mind!

Blinded by the violence

Times a-ticking until we take our positions

Caught up in denial

Still in-cycle

Don't you sleep!


[Chorus]

If I survive tonight, would it be alright

With the devil inside of my head?

If I swallow my pride, kiss reason goodbye

Tell me is it better to breathe instead?

If you'd only show me

Am I doomed to stay insane?

If I shut my eyes, I'll pick up my lives, and run away


[Bridge]

Slow down

'Fore it starts to tow me down

Feel a stirring disturbance from a strange and unfamiliar place

It starts with a doubt

Without a doubt I'm about to

March up to that playground, show the big kids what the runt is made of


[Verse 3]

Hold up, soldier

Don't lose your composure

My passion for the lack of soul inside my body takes control

I won't fold cause I'm not sold!

Can't step away

And that's the reality, hits like gravity

Rise up to the stage!


[Outro]

Right now

Can you hear that mighty sound?

I refuse to calm the fire - crackin', burnin' fuses

'Fore the countdown sounds

And that royalty? That winner stance?

That's silver shine on a young man's life

No chances, no survival

Watch me!
