[Verse 1]
Everyone else just play along
Everyone else just signing on a dotted line
But you don't even want to hear it
You don't really want to see
No shaking hands, I'm shutting down
I'm shutting down entirely

[Chorus]
Burned at both ends, yeah, it just won't let up
I want to catch my breath
Everyone here, could you please just shut up?
I gotta catch my breath

[Verse 2]
Why does the good stuff never last?
Everything sacred finds its way to filthy hands
Make no mistake, I ain't lacking in ambition
I'm digging my heels
I'm not taking your sour pills

[Chorus]
Burned at both ends, yeah, it just won't let up
I want to catch my breath
Everyonе here, could you pleasе just let up?
I gotta catch my breath
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh

[Instrumental Break]

Got no feeling, just thrill-seeking, in this for the

[Chorus]
Take and you take and you just won't let up
But you've gotta catch your breath
Everyone here, could you please just shut up?
But I'll never catch my breath

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
