Chewing On Fire

I've been chewing on the fire
Oh and spitting out them flames
I've been picking out the coals
Embedded in my veins

I've been watering my eyes
Oh I've let that river flow
And it takes it all away
Not so steady as it goes

And I've been clawing at this cage
Trying to keep control
And I've been studying my age
Why do I feel so old?
Why do I feel so old?

I've been counting on resistance
To keep me safe and sane
But there's just something in this distance
It truly is just strange

I've been turning through the pages
Trying to find the words
Or something to show me out these hazes
My visions always blurred

I've been clawing at this cage
Trying to keep control
I've been studying my age
Why do I feel so old?
Why do I feel so old?
