"Start A Fire" lyrics

It's tragic how we wound up this way
They mortgaged the future for a seat at the table with a plateful of shameful mistakes they'll swallow
Addicted to the game that they play like a dope sick user who just keeps coming clean and then leaving the scene no sorrow

We can't get any higher

We've been screaming from the nosebleeds far too long
You should know I'm a fighter
Mama raised me on crazy 'n coke... not afraid of the fire
Time for laying down is over
Burn it to the ground then they'll know we won't sleep 'til we're six feet down below

So let's start us a fire
So let's start us a fire

Prayer is a slippery slope when you worship the bullet
So you bury our sons and our daughters for fun... and it's bullshit.
Don't you deny the blood is on your fingers, you let it get this far
You closed your eyes and hoped the darkness lingered
But now the lights they can't get any brighter

We've been screaming from the nosebleeds far too long
You should know I'm a fighter
Mama raised me on crazy 'n coke... not afraid of the fire
Time for laying down is over
Burn it to the ground then they'll know we won't sleep 'til we're six feet down below

So let's start us a fire
So let's start us a fire
So let's start us a fire

You choose to believe what you want to see
You closed your eyes and hoped the darkness lingered
But now the lights they can't get any brighter

We've been screaming from the nosebleeds far too long
You should know I'm a fighter
Mama raised me on crazy 'n coke... not afraid of the fire
Time for laying down is over
Burn it to the ground then they'll know we won't sleep 'til we're six feet down below

So let's start us a fire
So let's start us a fire
So let's start us a fire
