Slow Burn from Burden by Last Hounds

I’ve been cooped up for days in my head
Bars like a cage, but they’re holding my brain instead
It’s hard to think when there’s nothing at all
When the doors feel like walls but no doors at all
Nah, and to be honest if I had the key
I’d still pick the lock just to satisfy me
I’d leave a trail so somebody could see
I’m still standing there screaming someone hate me

So we’ll light this fire
And give it away for free
As the flames burn higher
There’s nobody stopping me

Right now I’m breathing in flames
That’s the opposite of what a dragon does these days
No scales on my back
I’ve got wings like a snail and the balance of a cat
I’ll scratch your eyes out until there’s blood on the floor, blood on the walls
So you can’t see no more
Please tell me why it’s been so long
We got the whole world pushing us to make us feel wrong

So we’ll light this fire
And give it away for free
As the flames burn higher
There’s nobody stopping me

And now my head keeps spinning around
It gets heavy when I’m looking at the ground
And now my head keeps spinning around
It gets heavy when I’m looking at the ground

I watch the birds fly higher
But you’re all watching me
Do you ever expire
I wanna be like the birds I see

I watch the birds fly higher
But you’re all watching me
Do you ever expire
I wanna be like the birds
So shut your mouth, or I’m gonna tape it for you
Better close your eyes, or I’m gonna rip them out too

So we’ll light this fire
And give it away for free
As the flames burn higher
There’s nobody stopping me
