How long and lonely the trip to being a better man
Leave behind all you love, all of your friends
Trading in your chips for pennies
Trading in your demons for lessons
Trading up forever man
Yea you're trading up forever man
When I look behind me I see silhouettes,
Ever growing smaller as time takes its best
It doesn't mean I hate you
Like just means I have to grow
I am a fireman
And I'm seeking out that glow
The only thing keepin' these legs moving is knowing things will turn around again soon
Life is hard when you're sloggin' through deja vu after deja vu
Waters up to your legs and rising too
This isn't hell, this is right here, this is you
You build a kingdom of shit and complain about
Which way the wind blew
Life tears it down and no one cries with you
Life tears it down
Life tears it down and no one cries with you
Life tears it down
Sit alone thinking no one's there
Ignoring talking from outside the door
Never opened, never touched
Never wondered very much about
How I became the man I am
Always blaming others, my teachers, my parents
Never realizing I was coding myself from day one
I'm a computer in a world of flesh
I'm a computer doing its fucking best
It doesn't mean I hate you
I just means I have to grow
I am a fireman
Seeking out that glow
