Men Against Fire

[Verse]
Head up against a cool surface
Two serpents
Too pertinent to prove you heard it in a pledge
Loose burden, who worded this?
Move further to immersion
Incursion, we’re working on the edge
Shoot first, shoot further
Be certain, close curtains
If you shoot it, please shoot it for the head
This is real, this is here, this is weird, disappear
No, this is red
Covered head to toe in it
Know when it close up, own up
Don’t go slow in it’s stead
Figured I would own up to it
Slow movement, no closer to a notion that I had read
Somewhere in a book, on the TV, in a hook to a track
With a look or a glance, it has spread
I am now a man in a movie
Or an animal living in a lab
Where a group of faces laughing and acting as though this is natural
Impractical, I’m practically collateral
Sent into battle a thousand and one
I can not establish a balance

[Hook]
It wants to be a movie
It wants me to be hollow
It wants me to play God
Men up against fire
