about

How do we set ourselves on fire with every step, with every breath to make the most of this one precious life?

lyrics

SET MYSELF ON FIRE

1
whenever silence hits
I just can’t seem to stop thinking
I guess its’ true what they say
I’m just the millionth star-light blinking
But if the comets find their way
And the frozen streets in hell stop stinking
It’s then I’ll close my eyes
And let illumined mind start sinking

Chorus:
I’m gonna set myself on fire
Burn, burn like the sun in desire
stand tall through the muck and the mire
until I’m done

2
It’s a promise and a boast,
A reminder and an oath
To keep the lamps trimmed and burning,
Keep the hope
It’s a letter to a friend
An epithet to the end
In defiance of nothing
But to bend

Chorus
3
Discipline is only valuable if you can break it
Spontaneity is only riotous when you tame it
It’s the Birth of the fool
The Evaporation of the cool
The one who reclines in peace
behind all your pleadings
