Everything Burns

[Verse 1] I swear it only took a second the very first time i saw the light Was the motorbike flyin' through the minnesota night Watched my windshield crack like a spiders web In slow motion sky underneath us tryin' to breath Some glass in my hand the horizon just leaps up Crazy how the end can creep up And everybody walked away we were lucky Staring at the stars in the middle of the country It looked like the sky was on fire And the blanket over us was just beginning to burn And this universe is so volatile its a miracle That just a few sparks break through to the earth And now i think about time all the time And what the hell i wanna do with mine cause im still alive And it took that second to learn exactly what a second is worth (everything burns) [Hook] So burn like a phoenix I don't wanna live for the day i wanna seize it I don't wanna carry the fire i want to breath it I don't want to tell you the story i want to be it Pleae believe it So burn like a phoenix I don't wanna live for the day i wanna seize it I don't wanna carry the fire i want to breath it I don't want to dream of somthing better let me see it [Verse 2] There's a hole in your abdomen Just below your sternum right above your stomach Can you imagine it this black wall twisting Waiting for something passionate for sustanance it's hungry And the only reason you exist is to feed it so feed it Give it food Give it booze Give it politics Give it shopping Give it celebrity gossip Give it baseball,football,soccer and boxing Give it the crush you been watching The music that you listen to The vices that you give in to Give it your limits too whatever you obssess about Just never let it out Upset it and it will finish you Deliver you to darknes it's gotta eat something Give it the person you're in love with Whatever makes you happy Whatever makes you bitter Give it your cell, give it facebook, myspace and twitter Give it the mirror hang up to your hang ups Every argument every a-ball or a plus Give it the shoebox of love poems under your bed Give it the something from every was it something i said Give it your friends your job your religion and what you livin for Listen close There are things that matter and there are things that dont And knowing the difference is the most important thing you'll ever know There's a hole deep down inside you And when you die it will be all thats left And it will spil it contents out at your funeral The life you've lived the time you spent (everything burns) [Hook] So burn like a phoenix I don't wanna live for the day i wanna seize it I don't wanna carry the fire i want to breath it I don't want to tell you the story i want to be it Pleae believe it So burn like a phoenix I don't wanna live for the day i wanna seize it I don't wanna carry the fire i want to breath it I don't want to dream of somthing better let me see it [Outro] The last thing i saw was a deer long dead on the side of this country road The last thing i thought was im bringing better CD's on the next ride I never imagine my looking glass would be a windshield But i woke up to a whole new world on the otherside The last thing i said was pull up at the exit i can take over The last thing i did was sting my hand out the window and let it glide I never imagined my looking glass would be a windshield But i woke up to a whole new world on the otherside
