Day Forty-One - Secret Fire lyrics

Here I stand in a chamber of pressure It’s like the air that you breathe’s out to get ya Every little sound’s loud like a gunshot Got a lump in my chest, and it slowly builds up as the time ticks on My incomprehension’s rising with the tension I’ve become a cage for a crazed wild beast of self-cruelty That needs a new invention to be released Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes Let’s make an image to explain this state It’s a spaceship coming down like a meteor Fried circuits, won’t stop until it’s on the floor It’s a matter of steering it towards a safe place These name games and word plays They save me from undertaking a mountain climb with no ropes A sea voyage with no paddles to row Where would I be without this beat? I don’t know Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes (I’ll change my flames to notes) (I’ll change my flames to notes) (I’ll change my flames to notes) (I’ll change my flames to notes) This zone is pulling me back, pulling me back down old dark stairs But if I become an arrow, then maybe I could just go somewhere This zone is pulling me back, pulling me back down old dark stairs But if I become an arrow, then maybe I could just go somewhere (I’ll change my flames to notes) (I’ll change my flames to notes) Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes (I’ll change my flames to notes) (I’ll change my flames to notes) Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes Today I see with secret fire in my eyes Buried explosives set to blow at any time Our ancient war heroes may not have been alright I’ll change my flames to notes
