Singer Simon Neil said about the title: “When I go to bed I can never stop my brain, and sometimes I feel like my synapses are actually sparking in my brain. One night I just couldn’t get to sleep and I thought to myself I have indoor fireworks in my brain. It just stuck with me and when I was writi...
[Verse 1]
Never contemplated a sad life
Since I found the medicine jar
Now I can ignore all my troubles
I don’t think I have the heart
[Pre-Chorus]
This weight is crippling
This weight is crippling me
It’s the same old story
This weight is crippling
This weight is crippling me
[Chorus]
I fire it up then blow it out
I build it up then tear it down
Summit the ocean, scale the lake
And I’ll pray for the better days
[Verse 2]
Looking for a new revolution
This one didn’t get very far
I never want to spoil an illusion
Abracadabra!
[Pre-Chorus]
This rain keeps dripping
This rain keeps dripping on me
It’s the same old story
This rain keeps dripping
This rain keeps dripping on me
[Chorus]
I fire it up then blow it out
I build it up then tear it down
Summit the ocean, scale the lake
But I’ll pray for the better days
I fire it up then blow it out
I build it up then I tear it down
Cry at the joke, laugh at the rage
And I’ll pray for the better days
[Bridge]
I lost my mind, I found every single one
But I can’t do right for doing wrong
[Chorus]
I fire it up then blow it out
I build it up then tear it down
Summit the ocean, scale the lake
But I’ll pray for the better days
I fire it up then blow it out
I build it up then I tear it down
Cry at the joke, laugh at the rage
And I’ll pray for the better days

“There are certain songs that, even when you’re recording them, just feel right. This song is pure joy, it’s pure feeling. Which isn’t something we’re known for in our music. It’s about when you have those days and times when you just feel like everything is going against you. Every decision you mak...
