The Man in the Flames

One of these days I'm gonna burst into flames
It's someday soon, I hope, I'm tired of the wait
Cus my whole life has gone to Hell, I might as well go, too
And there I'll stand as the man in the flames
Every hour
In my home
I get wild
When left alone
Feel the sun
Strike my face
It's how I find
I missed the day
And this voice inside my mind
Sounds nothing like my own
Beelz has called me back
Before I wreck the room
One of these days I'm gonna burst into flames
It's someday soon, I hope, I'm tired of the wait
Cus my whole life has gone to Hell, I might as well go, too
And there I'll stand as the man in the flames
Thought I'd try
To run away
Given time
And change my name
Once was broke
Never poor
Gettin' coke
Never pure
Now there's pain inside my gut
Enough to knock me over
And when I close my eyes
I swear I'm hearing colors
One of these days I'm gonna burst into flames
It's someday soon, I hope, I'm tired of the wait
Cus my whole life has gone to Hell, I might as well go, too
And there I'll stand as the man in the flames
And there I'll stand as the man in the flames
There I'll stand, the man in the flames

Ripping through the seems
I can feel you
Staring at me
You're so bad at lying
In an armed robbing
You have stolen
All that I breathe
With a cut from your eyes
You won't give it back
Instead you try to act
Like you never
Had an attraction
I have had it to my neck with you
Lapse in judgement almost pushed you through
Satan couldn't make a more careless lie
Every time you speak
I can hear you
Slurring my name
You should be ashamed
Your words drown in my brain
What you say
doesn't match your body
It gives you away
Deep in Solomon's mines
Lay some diamonds inside
But the stones in your chest
Are faded
I have had it to my neck with you
Lapse in judgement almost pushed you through
Satan couldn't make a more careless lie
You've killed thousands
With your smile
Small scars
On your hands
So please
Tell me
How you feel
Or kill me, too
I have had it to my neck with you
Lapse in judgement almost pushed you through
I have traveled half the world with you
Lapse in judgement almost pushed you through
Satan couldn't make a more careless lie

Keep it Steady

There's something wrong with Johnny Cakes
Did you catch him running away
His will was strong, but not enough
To keep from the beasts of prey
Remember when he was king
He ruled them all from just eighteen
He stayed his pride, and they left his side
And the rest was taken by me
When I looked behind the crown, I had found
There's a monster
In the mirror
It's been there once before
He don't ever want to believe
That it can see him
Feel him breathing
Hear his beating heart
He's shaken to his bones
He keeps it steady
There's nothing bad about what he did
He was always his momma's kid
But she caught sight of her baby's eyes
When he bit from the stolen bread
Though now he has regrets, he might forget
There's a monster
In the mirror
It's been there once before
He don't ever want to believe
That it can see him
Feel him breathing
Hear his beating heart
He's shaken to his bones
He keeps it steady
There's something wrong with Johnny Cakes
Did you see him slipping away
I watched him fall, his eyes had roled
And down on the floor he stayed
So now he has regrets he won't forget
There's a monster
In the mirror
It's been there once before
He don't ever want to believe
That it can see him
Feel him breathing
Hear his beating heart
He's shaken to his bones
Keep it steady
