lyrics
(Jordan Bink)
I guess I’ve been a little frigid,
not myself, I’m feeling hollow,
looking for my filling at the bottom of all these bottles.
Stress is boiling over, I feel the pressure everyday.
A fire burning inside thats starting to fade away.
Then I realized,
“You gotta gas it up!”
You gotta back it up with faith and make it last a month!
You gotta look yourself in the mirror see pride and see power,
Be the bad mother fucker standing taller than an ivory tower,
Scaring fear away..
(Content & Jordan Bink)
Touch the fire when you feel a little upset my best guess is to be who you want
Touch the fire if you feel a little unrest my best guess is to do what you are
You gotta touch the fire
(You're becoming the man, you're becoming the man that you'd hoped for)
(Content)
I had been looking for another ounce of courage through the tipping of a shot glass.
Yeah, fuck that, I wasn't doing so well.
Down a rabbit hole with little self control.
Until I realized, you gotta be alright with being your self.
Myself, my, my, my heart, my hands..
My mind, my, my, my life, my chance.
You've gotta live you up to your own expectations.
It might take a little happenstance or higher education.
Either way..
(Content & Jordan Bink)
Touch the fire when you feel a little upset my best guess is to be who you want
Touch the fire if you feel a little unrest my best guess is to do what you are
You gotta touch the fire
(You're becoming the man, you're becoming the man that you'd hoped for)
(Content & Jordan Bink)
Feel like you're falling apart
falling, falling apart
Feel like you're falling apart
You gotta follow your heart
You're becoming the man,
You're becoming the man,
You're becoming the man that you hoped for
Touch the fire when you feel a little upset my best guess is to be who you want
Touch the fire if you feel a little unrest my best guess is to do what you are
You gotta touch the fire
(You're becoming the man, you're becoming the man that you'd hoped for)
