Mother, I'm burning up inside It's not slowing down, it won't subside I feel like I'm hanging by a thread Mother, I feel like a walking dead And I don't want this intoxication to end I want to feel it, I want to taste it all again So much life come and gone Mother, I'm burning up inside Mother, it's eating up my mind Am I too cruel, am I too kind? Am I just stupid, am I blind? And I don't want this intoxication to end I want to feel it, I want to taste it all again Somehow the end feels like the beginning ♪ Mother, I'm burning up inside Mother, I've been burning all my life It's something I can't live without Some sort of underlying constant doubt About the world and the things we think we know And I don't know what other route to go And I don't want this intoxication to end I want to feel it, I want to taste it all again Somehow the end feels like the beginning
