[Chorus]
I sleep at night by the warmth of the fire
From the bridges I've burned
I keep a light for the moths to admire
My words
If what comes around goes around
Then may it come to me my turn
But I'll sleep in peace knowing finally
I will never learn
[Verse]
Two middle fingers let it burn in them
Fuck your bridge, I'ma learn to swim
There's a few little inches in the world to win
Brick by brick build a world within
There's a whole lot of threats here to burden men
Burn in sin, earn to win, learn to bend
Turn thе trend, firm the grip, feel the burn
Turn thе wheel into the urn again
Peel the fur from the curse of men
Till it's cursive then
With the word of pen
Like bird to men and a virgin Earth
Reserved for them
When the only means to preserve is then
The written word or the spoken one
When it's etched in stone
Till the yoke is sprung
Even left alone the rope is hung
To kill oneself for the older ones
For the newer ones are soon to come
Like noon in front of the sky saloon
One eye for the eye
One eye to the hand
When it's do or die who gonna die sooner
My mind is my room
To escape is a lie, I deny you find you
In a six by eight till I find that gape
Through the lines of the gate
Where the light looms
Tycoon meet typhoon got you
Tied to a poll for the tide to find you
The ebb and flow of letting go
To the never can know to the I knew I knew
Appropriation is pro-creation
Know the ancients know the ain't yet
Fucking two things with no relation
No one's patient, no one's paid it in full
[Bridge]
(I, I) I live in the past
Die in the future
(Sleep in the) Sleep in the now
(Only to, only to) Only to lie in a new world
Wake up in a flash — why?
'Cause the fire is proof that
I am a nova
(I, I) I am not over, I am not over, I am not over
I am on loop here
[Interlude]
On s'est couché le jour
Et levé la nuit
Attendant que la mort pointe pour changer d'avis
C'est là qu'est la vérité : échouée sur la rive
Ne faut-il que des mots d'amour pour donner la vie ?
[Chorus]
I sleep at night by the warmth of the fire
From the bridges I've burned
I keep a light for the moths to admire
My words
If what comes around goes around
Then may it come to me my turn
But I'll sleep in peace knowing finally
I will never learn
