I caught a fire in my left hand
Slowly felt it burn away
Oh, how it burned away
I caught a fire in my brain
Slowly watched it turn to gray
That's my favorite shade
And it's clear that my life is a cave
I feel a little lost when I'm not writing
And my hand, it burns as bright as day
Casting shadows on the walls I've made face
I got a beer with my best friends
Slowly felt it slip away
And how it slips away
Got a beer in the morning
I had to laugh at how good it tastes
My, how good you taste
But without my walls, I feel like I am nothing
And this weight can get to crushing me
Well, just to think that all that I have built
Could be torn between you and me...
I caught in my throat
And slowly felt it move away
And how it moved away
Through my chest to my left hand
I guess I'll watch it burn away
Man, I hope she stays
'Cuz it's clear that my life is a cave
I feel a little lost when she's not with me
And, my hand, it still burns as bright as day
Casting shadows, oh, I hope I can save my face
Oh no
Caught a fire in my brain
Slowly felt it turn to gray
And that's my favorite shade
