Fire In My Belly
05:31

there's a fire in my belly burning me to bits
all reduced to ashes and deserv-ed epithets
all ill gains gotten
burned up and rotten
there's a fire in my belly that I must keep lit
there's a fire in my belly burning in the pit
there's no use in giving up I may as well give in
pain is a given
all can be forgiven
there's a fire in my belly that I must keep lit
there's a fire in my belly, the will to survive
mashall up your courage if you want to stay alive
where the fire's passed
a molten heart of glass
a fire in my belly that I must keep lit
until the night is over
until the night is over
until the night is over
until the night is over
there's a fire in my belly that I must keep lit
until the night is over
until the night is over
until the night is over
until the night is over
there's a fire in my belly that I must keep lit

Closer

I can see now that I can't get any closer
I can see clearly through the rain
sweet earth drifting up
dim light breaking in
soft touch on my face
it's not what I'm calling it at all
I can see now that I can't get any closer
it was always what I was
chest moves, things change
it grows, it wanes
a thunderclap, a windowpane
it's not what I'm calling it at all
the way that you're feeling now this isn't it
it's what it's happening on
what it's happening in
the way that I'm feeling now could never last
and why should I need it to
isn't it enough to feel it
moving through me
the way that you're feeling now is just a hit
and it's not just anything at all
I can see now that I can't get any closer
I'm already here and gone
bodies age, leaves decay
spring returns, suns rays
hot birth, cold remains
it's not what I'm calling it at all

Don't it gnaw you
03:30

Reflexively reaching
creeping for answers
a blue light shines in the night
I know I should sleep
the answers will keep
until the next mornings find me
oh don't it gnaw you
oh it won't stop to
let you catch your breath
oh don't it vex you
oh and perplex you
how could you catch a breath
lying awaking
sniffling shaking
laughter would do just as well
what can you do
when life is just clues
to what sort of game we're all playing
oh don't it dog you
oh it's a slog to
just try and catch your breath
oh don't it hound you
oh and confound you
how do you catch a breath
I'm sure the answers are just around the corner
I'm sure the answers will make it make sense
I'm sure the answers are just what I'm looking for
I'm sure the answers are playing pretend
oh don't it gnaw you
oh it won't stop to
let you catch your breath
oh don't it vex you
oh and perplex you
how could you catch a breath?
