Burnin' Burnin'
Emotional Inferno: Wrestling with Inner Demons
Lyrics
I wish I could help you
I desire to assist you
But I really don't know how
However, I genuinely don't know how
I wish things were different
I wish circumstances were different
But it's too late for different now
But it's too late for a change now
I guess I'll watch you from a distance
I suppose I'll observe you from a distance
While you learn and change like me
As you undergo transformations and growth, akin to me
I'm sure you'll be way better
I am confident you will surpass your envisioned self
Than who you always thought you'd be
More exceptional than who you always believed you'd become
I see how you hold in things other people would let out
I notice how you internalize emotions others would express
And how you harbor problems of the people you care about
And how you carry the burdens of those you deeply care about
It can be a lot to handle, you burn brighter than a candle
It can be overwhelming; you shine more brightly than a candle
And I'm hot, I'm burnin' burnin' baby
I am intense, I'm burning, burning, my dear
Cause I got the devil on my back
Because I feel the weight of inner struggles
She's screaming in my ear
A constant internal conflict echoes in my ears
The sky is turning black
The world around me darkens
I want to disappear
I wish to vanish from this situation
Devil on my back
The internal conflict persists
Her claws are sinking deep
The emotional pain digs its claws deep
I think that I'm in hell
I feel like I'm in a place of torment
There's fire at my feet
With the intensity of challenges at my feet
Every time i try to be alone, things fall into my lap
Whenever I seek solitude, challenges come my way
Now I see that the problem is me, and the only problem with that is
Now I realize the issue lies within me
I don't let nobody close to me
I avoid letting anyone get close to me
And you got closer than you 'sposed to be
Yet, you became closer than intended
And like glue I'm stuck, I'm fucked baby I
I'm attached to you like glue; I'm in a difficult situation
Like I said you burn brighter than a candle
As mentioned, you shine brighter than a candle
Sometimes I can be hard to handle
At times, I can be challenging to deal with
Wanna frame you and put you on a mantle
I want to preserve and showcase you like a prized possession
Cos baby you're my baby and I
Because, darling, you are significant to me
I don't know why but when you leave I cry
I don't understand why, but when you depart, I weep
And cry and try
I cry and try
Cause I got the devil on my back
Because I feel the burden of inner struggles
She's screaming in my ear
The internal conflict echoes loudly
The sky is turning black
The world around me darkens
I want to disappear
I wish to vanish from this situation
Devil on my back
The internal conflict persists
Her claws are sinking deep
The emotional pain digs its claws deep
I think that I'm in hell
I feel like I'm in a place of torment
There's fire at my feet
With the intensity of challenges at my feet
And i'm hot, i'm burnin' burnin' baby
And I am intense, I'm burning, burning, my dear
And i'm hot, i'm burnin' burnin' baby
