Gasoline

Featured on the album Songbook.

I’m feelin’ overrated
I’m feelin’ old
I can’t escape the everyday I feel the same
Everyday I feel the cold

I got a great idea
I got it sold
I only gotta make it
Can’t because I’m scared
and I’m scared because you know
You know…

If there’s a place in this world for me
Then there’s a place that I have to be
There’s nothing scarier I could dream
But if the air in this world is free
Then why has it been choking me
With fumes of gasoline?

I’ve been the underrated
and undersold
I’ve been the venerated
Couldn’t breathe the air
Couldn’t breathe it to a soul
Couldn’t breathe it… 
and now I know

If there’s a place in this world for me
Then there’s a place that I have to be
There’s nothing scarier I could dream
But if the air in this world is free
Then why has it been choking me
With fumes of gasoline?

We’re on the edge of an aftermath
We’ll light a match
and that is that

If there’s a place in this world for me
Then there’s a place that I have to be
There’s nothing scarier I could dream
I’ll just take everything left to me
Put it out there for all to see
and soak it in gasoline
But if the air in this world is free
Then why has it been choking me
With fumes of gasoline?
