Burn - Joelistics

I get fresh with friends who get gassed

Who flash and flake out and talk with long gaps

Words in their mouth like planes that crash

I only catch half, but it’s mostly trash

, lost without a map

And there’s no turnin' back, ‘cause I’m full of the stuff

A one-way ticket and I get on the bus

I’m a wing-tipped Icarus, burnin' up

My tummy’s in a knot, but I’m lovin' the rush

I’m full of the love made from chemical dust

So I keep focused, give into the process

I pray for atonement and stay in the moment

Big smile

Wide eyed

Call up

Long nights

Burn like sun

Shine all day

Work and run

Don’t throw it away

Now the dance floor’s packed with bodies that attract

Bodies that attack, bodies bend at the back

Bodies get trapped, bodies fill in the gap

So many bodies move, now who’s body’s that?

Hearts get open, cracked with raw emotion

Words get spoken, corrupted by potions

Snapshot moments, back to slow motion

Slick sugar-coating over all of the commotion

Tomorrow, this’ll be a memory in quick-time

‘Cause we trick time, with a quick mind

And like bats in the sky, we fly blind

Swim through the night, washed up in the sunshine

No sleep

Sad eyes

Black days

Good signs

Help me get out of here

Help me get out of here

Burn like sun

Shine all day

Work and run

Don’t throw it away

Maybe we met at a party

In the bathroom, with Charlie

In the bedroom, you were asking

Why the moon would hide its face

Box me up, put me down

Tie me and turn it ‘round

Throw me out, give it away

What was your name?

Burn like sun

Shine all day

Work and run

Don’t throw it away

Don’t throw it all away
