Burning Candle

from coffee coffee ANARCHY! by Modern Trigger

/

lyrics

i used to party every night
show up to work and feel just fine
i never got real sick or felt real tired
i'd just punch the clock and adjust my high
people said they needed their 8 hours
but i never knew what they were talking about
even after i got clean
and daytime meant responsibility
i'd set alarms but not to sleep
just to pause the dvd
you wouldn't recognize me without these lines
or the big black bags beneath both of my eyes
i value my time alone
but i can't miss out on fun with friends
so i'm burning my candle at both ends
the only time i write a song
is late at night or early morn
i can't discern the two, can't draw a line
but i'm no stranger to sunrise
it might not seem so crucial to you
but someone's gotta pace around this room
i still have such time to waste
and you might say i wear myself thin
when i'm burning my candle at both ends
