[Verse 1]
Friday night under neon lights
In the streets I fight for my life
It’s right there in mylar plastic cuz it’s sky high drastic
How from my two hands, it’s falling down like italics on the page
Hurry out, it’s coming – hurricane
Some gigantic, idolastrous blaze
And everyone’s amazed
And I was thinking, “Hey…”
[Chorus]
I’ll get away when the flame gets colder
But for now I watch it smoke and smolder
I know I’ll laugh at it all when I’m older
But for now I keep playing it over
And over and over again in my head
It’s a deadly feeling that they wish I was dead
I’m making waves playing the engulfer
God I wish I didn’t take this sober
[Verse 2]
Can’t say I was unfazed by it, know it’s just a phase
But they really got a claim on me there for a
Second I thought everybody hated me
Tried to turn to friends but every friend turned away from me
All this pain will turn to glory
But the waiting’s getting boring
I’m the writer of this story
And in my book, there’s no room for worries
[Chorus]
I’ll get away when the flame gets colder
But for now I watch it smoke and smolder
I know I’ll laugh at it all when I’m older
But for now I keep playing it over
And over and over again in my head
It’s a deadly feeling that they wish I was dead
I’m making waves playing the engulfer
God I wish I didn’t take this sober
[Bridge]
But I’m
I’m drunk on the feeling
Even weeks from now
I’m reeling
I’ve got my hands clasped in prayer, I’m kneeling
Can you separate the pain from the healing
Over and over and over again
It’s a deadly feeling
[Chorus]
I’ll get away when the flame gets colder
(When the flame gets colder)
But for now I watch it smoke and smolder
(Smoke and smolder)
I know I’ll laugh at it all when I’m older
But for now I keep playing it over
And over and over again in my head
It’s a deadly feeling that they wish I was dead
(Wish I was dead)
Oh no
I’m making waves playing the engulfer
God I wish I didn’t take this sober
