Burning Out
Thomston Lyrics

Bite the bullet
Face the reality of the situation, even if it is difficult

You know there's really nothing to it
The situation is simpler than it may appear

Feel the rush
Experience the adrenaline and excitement of taking risks

You'll lose it all in a minute
The excitement does not last and can lead to negative consequences

Cash it in
Take advantage of opportunities while they are present

Nothing ever lasts around here
Opportunities and situations are fleeting and temporary

Take your time
Be patient and strategic in achieving goals

You wanna grab the right attention
Seek to make a positive impression on others

Hide your mind
Keep thoughts and motivations hidden in order to maintain a sense of mystery and allure

Mystery and apprehension
The unknown and ambiguous can be interesting and exciting

You will fade, if you're falling for the bait
If you are too easily drawn in by something, you will ultimately lose interest and fade away

caught up in fever now you're stuck in place
Being too caught up in something can lead to being immobilized and unable to make progress

I've had a taste of it
I have experienced the allure and excitement of this lifestyle

I'm not one to be patient
I am not naturally inclined to wait for success

Believe me when I say
Trust me when I tell you

I'm in this for the long haul
I am committed to long-term success and not just fleeting moments of excitement

I'm coming up
I am gaining success and recognition

Don't worry now
There is no need to worry at this moment

I'm too young to worry bout Burning Out, Burning Out
I am at a stage in my life where I should not be worried about burning out

Set your head
Focus your thoughts and efforts

on everything you want to pocket
Focus on accumulating wealth and possessions

Monetise
Find ways to make a profit from your efforts

Agreeing if you'll make a profit
Make decisions based solely on the potential for financial gain

Pulling teeth
Struggling to achieve something that is very difficult

You watch it all scatter and fade
Everything you have worked for can disappear quickly and easily

I understand
I comprehend and empathize with your struggles

You've had it hard and scraped the barrel
You have experienced significant challenges and have had to make do with very little

With open hands
Open to receiving whatever you can get

You take all of the free apparel
You take advantage of any freebies or handouts that come your way

You claw the dirt
You work hard and fight to achieve your goals

And everything you wear for worse
The things that you have obtained may not be ideal or beneficial

Has a way of setting you in reverse
What once felt like progress can be undone or become detrimental

I'm really new to this
I am inexperienced in this arena

I realise that I'm fortunate
I am aware and grateful for the opportunities that have come my way

I'm eyeing up the apex
I am focused on reaching the highest point of success

I know nothing is permanent
Everything is subject to change and impermanence

But does this have to be a tournament
Do we have to compete against one another for success?

I plan on staying around
I intend to remain in this industry or lifestyle for the long term

Do you wanna stay around?
Do you also want to be part of this industry or lifestyle for the long term?

When it slips from my fingers i'll be good
If I lose what I have gained, I will be okay

As I should, and like you could
I will adapt and overcome challenges, just as you can
