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
