Child on Fire - Feelings of Impending Doom Lyrics

Complacency is just worst form of disease
Stand in my place until it hurts
Voice everything

Violent
Why are we trying
Violent
What are we trying to defend

This is a sacred test
Wrapped in the burden's robe
I vow to end the suffering
I aim to take control

We're alive and moving on now
For another moment
I would carry you if I could now
But my hands are broken

And I have chosen to remain here for now
At least for a little while
And they have chosen to reclaim the fakest smile
So they can wear us down in the end
How I wonder
Can this be right
Or will we pay the price

Child
Fly away
To the place where you can stay
On fire
Through the pain
Find your name
Make your way

Can't you see we're still invested in you
And now you want to throw it away
Goddamn
Haven't you learned anything
And all that you've forgotten you are
I am
So button that suit up for death
