That’s a Long Time to Be on Fire Lyrics by Shutups

Every Day I’m Less Zen

2019

[Verse 1]
High energy, sitting still on a couch for free
Complete with the sound of everything nowhere to be found
And your blurry eyes fail to see what's passing by
Your life is a waste, man, 26 without a plan
[Chorus]
And that's a long time to be on
Long time to be one fire
Held my breath, found no desire
I'd rather die young
[Verse 2]
Down days, dirty clothes
I've had this cold all summer
And burnt out, flee the streets
I keep my receipts when I eat out
[Chorus]
That's a long time to be on
Long time to be one fire
Did my time, no work for hire
But I still work for something
[Verse 3]
My brand new color glows
Entertains nobody knows
Day breaks but I've been woke all
Night, gotta keep the fire bright
Live to fight another fight
[Bridge]
High energy, put my hand in the flame for heat
I'll keep to myself for the coming weeks, no need to reach out
[Chorus]
And it's a long time to be on
Long time to be on fire
Put my faith in amplifiers
I can't separate myself from you
I'm forever blue
This god awful tune keeps ringing out
[Outro]
My brand new color glows
Entertains nobody knows
Day breaks but I've been woke all
