Fire inside me
Try and take me
I'll break you into a million pieces
Maybe even set you free

Forget what you knew about what you worked so hard to know
Skies are cracking, the Earth is dying, and I'm just sighing inside
Good night to the moon, remember that fairy tale?
Oh, who knew the high white moon was lying to you?

These pebbled beaches are burning my feet
Everyone around me is telling me to be neat
I laugh in their face and spill water in their drink
Their scratching their head hard, struggling to think

Absolutist minds kick themselves in the end
Mr. N taught me something as well as my brother Big Ben
So if your around let that lady know
Tonight I'll be working in the late night snow

Positive as I walk down the depths of 4th street
Watching Keats break bread, lacing up his leather cleats
Bobbing up & down in a purple vest made of gold
Frowning hearts are lady love's true mold

Color's that blinded me in my youth are now looking beautiful
All I got are my hands, a pen, and a will to stay dutiful
Attack me with all you got and I'll leave you dead in the sand
Rush me now, head down, and I'll bury you in this "unified" land

Farewell to the beats that once were heard round' the world
Forget the way things were because the doom is in the swirl
Aftermath rejects sit late after school with a narrow minded hate
I'm setting a mental note of my soon to be release date
