Don't you play to hard.
It's burning into my soul
when you come around, when you come around.
And don't you play to long.
Like an inaudible soldier,
you pick your knees up high.
you keep your voice down low.
It's creeping in through my toenails
and it's moving up through my thighs.
I'm wrestling time 'till I'm sober.
I'm thinking, but not with my mind.
'Cause it's moving up through my shoulders
and it's bleeding out through my skin.
It's filling the air that I breathe, oh
Can't you feel it, can't you feel it?
Don't wanna lose control
'cause I'm dancing with fire.
It's burning in my hands,
I'm burning out of my mind.
Don't wanna shake this sickness.
Not while I'm following sirens.
They're calling out my name.
I think I'll take my chances.
It's creeping in through my toenails
and it's moving up through my thighs.
I'm wrestling time 'till I'm sober.
I'm thinking, but not with my mind, no.
Because it's moving up through my shoulders
and it's bleeding out through my skin.
It's filling the air that I breathe, oh
Can't you feel it, can't you feel it?
I've got a specter whispering in my ear
with the most beautiful grin.
He laughs 'cause he knows I'm taken.
He laughs 'cause he knows where I've been, lord.
Now I keep my head near the ground but
my face turned to the sky.
It's filling the air that I breathe, oh
can't you feel it, can't you feel it?
