Chewing on Fire

I've been chewing on the fire

Oh, and spitting out them flames

I've been picking out the coals

Embedded in my veins

And I've been watering my eyes

Oh, I've let that river flow

And it takes it all away

Not so steady as it goes

And I've been clawing at this cage

Trying to keep control

And I've been studying my age

Oh, why do I feel so old?

Why do I feel so old?

And I've been counting on resistance

To keep me safe and sane

But there's just something in this distance

It truly is just strange

And I've been turning through the pages

Trying to find the words

Or something to show me out these hazes

My visions always blurred

And I've been clawing at this cage

Trying to keep control

And I've been studying my age

Why do I feel so old?

Why do I feel so old?
