Slow Burn

To keep this heart from failing, we send the pain below
You’ve got me in the fire, walking, and I'm burning slow

Always running on empty and it makes me sick
Unhinging from this mortal temperament
And now with the vision fading
Never enough -to the point of breaking
You always do what you’re told
There’s no way you can save me now
And I'm breaking down
Can’t keep my feet on the ground long enough to feel at home

How do I make the best of letting go of everything I’ve ever known?
I'm never looking back
I'm a walking heart attack searching for the strength to carry on

Watch me disintegrate
Will time alleviate the pressure building up?
I’ve sacrificed enough of the air in my lungs
Give me this day in the Sun
A broken past running in circles

How do I make the best of letting go of everything I’ve ever known?
I'm never looking back
I'm a walking heart attack searching for the strength to carry on

You sit and watch as I burn
I’ll finally get what I deserve
And I'm breaking down
Can’t keep my feet on the ground long enough to feel at home
Disintegrate. I’ve sacrificed enough
Give me this day in the Sun

How do I make the best of letting go of everything I’ve ever known?
I'm never looking back
I'm a walking heart attack searching for the strength to carry on
