it feels like years since i last really slept
i got chills through my skin from nervous sweat
accelerating, hallucinating, digging in my nails
but one thing i have: they don’t see me yet
they will fake a smile, hunting all the time, never close their eyes
but what they don’t know, what they never gonna know,
what they don’t know: how to catch me
such a white knuckle high, when i burn too fast
i’m addicted, to the rush, i’m addicted to the crash
dues are paid, my mistakes are made, and all the money spent
and there’s no one now who can hold me back
they will fake a smile, hunting all the time, never close their eyes
they could know it all, they can write the code, they can take control
they could scout around, nose to the ground, try to drag me down
but what they don’t know, what they never gonna know,
what they don’t know: is how to catch me
all my meters are broken down, i run super hot
but i’d rather burn, manic up and down, than not burn at all
oh my body burns, my belly churns, but i like it this hard
i wear jewelry made of scars
i won’t stay quiet in the shed
i’ll stop when i am dead
they will fake a smile, hunting all the time, never close their eyes
but what they don’t know, what they never gonna know,
what they don’t know: how to catch me
