At the start, our intentions were pure
Kept our homes and our power secure
At the start, our intentions were good
Used to know who we were.
We got lost underfoot.
Always been the responsible sort.
Gave it all, but I needed some more.
Every day, just a slap in the face
Did you learn anything?
Can you do it again?
So hold on
As tightly as you possibly can
Hold your tongue
And no one has to know what I am
I can’t tell
If I’m doing this for money or love
In this hell
Burning hotter than the core of the sun.
I can keep keeping up with demand
I don’t need anything I don’t have.
Bought a car and I’m paying the rent
There was something I missed.
Feels like something is bent.
Feeling tense, but I’m shrugging it off
Don’t complain, ‘cause the standard’s enough
Nothing new, not a story to tell
Never need anyone
Can you live with yourself?
And we’re soiled
With the sort of dirt that never comes off
And the world
Erodes us till we’re nothing at all
I can’t tell
If I’m doing this for money or love
In this hell
Burning hotter than the core of the sun.
There are nights when I can’t get to sleep
Not my fault, but it’s coming from me
Take a pill so I don’t have to think
Nothing good ever comes
While I’m staying awake
When they tell you that my heart is intact
It’s so easy if you take it as fact
Every day, learn to edit the truth
Keep selecting the news
Tell me, how can you lose?
But you’re wrong.
It’s hotter than the core of the sun.
The album packs in interesting arrangements and takes time to try out a few different sounds. Much lighter than my stuff. But that's a good thing sometimes. Collin Kravis
