Testi

Fire in my belly, ash on my tongue
I saw flashbulbs in grand auditoriums
Through starry eyes that burned so clear
Before the mud, the blood, and the beer
Johnny was on vinyl, he was still alive
I was pining after autumn and them blustery nights
Death rode in the back of my mind
But I was too pissed off to die
Candle flame in my belly, wax behind my lip
I saw acclaim in crowded, beer-soaked basements
Through stormy eyes, heavy with codeine
In the dog days of self-destruction and self-loathing
Ryan lined my headphones while I'd walk to work
Blasting Jacksonville past brownstones, Dunkies, and doctors
Death rode in the passenger seat
Whispering directions to me
Cooling ember in my belly, smoke between my teeth
I saw rusty strings and blank dusty pages in Essex county
Through tired eyes, half war, half peace
Do I rage against the dying that part of me?
Cause if it's gonna go anyway, shouldn't it go gently?
I was just a kid when that spark first lit
And it grew into a wildfire
Now I'm older than Gram was when he died
And though it saved me countless times
I can't seem to care anymore 'bout that wildfire
Death fell asleep in the back seat
Like Hank in his Cadillac
It's not the fading of the flame that really scares me
It's how little I want it back
