[Verse 1] Burning me up On the inside If you could feel it You'd step aside The fire that burns inside Keeps crawling higher Heat in my chest Like a live wire Steam on my skin Fog in my head Of course you can't see ahead I'm already in red [Pre-Chorus] Rising, rising Under my ribs I try to breathe But the pressure gives You talk so calm Like it's nothing at all But I keep slipping Deeper in the squall [Chorus] Burning me up Burning me up You can't see it But I'm all lit up Burning me up Burning me up Still in the smog Still in the smog [Verse 2] Every step feels slow Through the humid dark I leave wet footprints Down this narrow arc The air won't clear It holds me tight I chase the exit Then lose the light And you keep asking Why I'm out of reach I'm a glass of heat That you can't teach [Pre-Chorus] Rising, rising Under my ribs I try to breathe But the pressure gives You talk so calm Like it's nothing at all But I keep slipping Deeper in the squall [Chorus] Burning me up Burning me up You can't see it But I'm all lit up Burning me up Burning me up Still in the smog Still in the smog [Bridge] If you could feel What I feel now You'd hear the crack Before the bow One more breath And it all breaks loose I was never smoke I was fireproof-proof [Final Chorus] Burning me up Burning me up You can't see it But I'm all lit up Burning me up Burning me up Still in the smog Still in the smog
