"Build A Fire" lyrics
"Build A Fire"
Why'd you try and build a fire
And hide
You gave it no meaning or the like
No one thinks in pictures but mimes
And you have no sense of time
Find what you hold most dear in life
And sell it for a decent price
Show the kids what's what and what's right
Guard everything else with a knife
What I want is free
But I don't know what that means
I want answers to some questions that I can't speak
I live nonsense in speed
So just bleed til the hearts pumps harder
And speak til the tongue pumps water
But what if some things are better left to breathe
I'm gonna build a fire and die
One that don't care if I'm dead or alive
Show em all I've done and what's right
And they'll use it all as a guide

Who doesn't think they're at...
Iceage - "Plowing Into The Field Of Love" All those brash young studs
They have no idea what its like up here
I am that ragged figure of a man standing
Up in a mansion window
Looking down at the strung out refugees
Some men would question...
The Evens - "Cache Is Empty" If you ignore your heart things will fall apart
Your cache is empty 'cause your body's that way
Held together with no more than a membrane
Guarding all your parts is harder than being without cover...
Girl Band - "Going Norway" "Apple, penny, table" said
Doctor Awkward savage head
Needs a minute
Got a minute
Been AWOL or a sieve
Going Norway on medicine
Needs a minute
Got a minute
And why is the death so alive?
A cough...
