Let the fire cleanse, let it burn away

Until I rise again, let me hold this space

Will I find my strength? Or will it be misplaced

Just try to follow where I've been sent, I hope it don't lead astray

Everyday feeling like the same now, start to wonder if I've lost myself

Subtle pieces that I had to change out, but it's all adding up into a lot, my health

Really ain't as important as getting payed now, how's that for the norm

How they keep us subservient, in a daze now, just fill your name on the form

Said "I ain't going out like that, I ain't going out like that", that was years ago

Now I stand on the train with a tag with my name

Swear this badge is a brand, boredom fanning the flames

'Til it catch those hoops

And we all dive through

Roll up, roll up

Can't let the circle become my noose

Til it's gone

It burns, it burns away

Wanna tell her that I love her, but she don't wanna hear that

That's a human connection, it's like lately we fear that

She don't wanna go deep, tepid water at the surface

Tryna walk across a tightrope, but ain't no order in the circus

I been trying to catch hold, I been trying to break free

I've been trying, man

All this grinding takes tolls, all these lies, it ain't me

I've been hiding, man

I been losing my soul, this survival aint cheap

I been fighting man

I been digging this hole, 'til the light ain't something I see

But I've been climbing, man

Yeah – gotta wonder why we play these games

Gotta wonder why we run this circuit

And it always seems to stay the same

I just wonder why I feel so numb, now

Feel the fire and embrace the pain

In a link, but I'll lose it somehow

I'm just struggling to break the chains – A

'Til it's gone

It burns, it burns away

'Til it's gone

It burns, it burns away

'Til it's gone

It burns, it burns away

'Til it's gone

It burns, it burns away
