I’m the fire in the mountain,
The white light of misfortune.
Feed it in secret,
Believe it’s undefined.
The fairest of lies,
The violence in plain sight.
Feed it in secret, breathe in,
The sickness sleeps unseen.
Misguided ages which we all reference.
Mistaken faces replaced with severance.
I’ve got it backwards in my head,
I begin to unravel.
I just want us all excited.
We’ve made our own way out.
How to feel alive,
Feed it in secret,
Believe it’s undefined.
And I see what I’ve made,
And I keep what I’ve gained.
And I wish it were in my place,
So take your seat and I’ll take aim.
And I’ve got it backwards inside my head.
And I won’t look back.
I’m the fire in the mountain,
The white light of misfortune.
Feed it in secret,
Believe it’s undefined.
The fairest of lies,
The violence in plain sight.
Feed it in secret,
Believe it’s undefined.
