man's not hot

fire's not hot, i think
there's a fuel in my training
that drives me, finds me

on my knees, but will
my life hand me a chance yet?
i train and i train

borne by the blood, oh
it breathes like a sickly beast
running down my neck

tickling my ears
i hate their shrill cheers, i hear
but sheesh, it's my bad

what do i do now?
i wish i could break my fall
and save it all, but

i have no idea what
you're thinking, what thoughts spin in
your head, beloved?

please tell me, i need
to know, because i don't know
much yet, as you see

the world's got a plan
it hurts when it's true, but i
will try my best, 'kay?
