Oh there's something foreign beating in my heart
You've blinded me and now I can't see the stars
There's raindrops on my window pane and rain falls from my eyes
From these demons deep inside there's nowhere left to hide
Standing at the edge of the chasm wide
Oh it's dark and deep 10,000 fathoms high
Oh we hate these tragedies these things that we can't fight
In the face of things so strange I'm a burning man ooh I'm a burning man
Oh it's all stripped down now nothing in the way
Just the sound of the river rushing through this empty place
Walking on this narrow ledge holding on to grace
Burning hands and so I fall weightless into space
Standing at the edge of the chasm wide
Oh it's dark and deep 10,000 fathoms high
How we fear oh how we fear these unknown heights
Oh we hate these tragedies these things that we can't fight
In the face of things so strange I'm a burning man
I'm a burning man
Keep one thing in mind though before you fall for me
Those California wildfires they sure bring the heat
So watch your step I bid you look where you leap
Once you start burning this life you can't reap
Ooh I'm a burning man
In these burning sands
Standing at the edge of the chasm wide
Oh it's dark and deep 10,000 fathoms high
How we fear oh how we fear these unknown heights
In the face of things so strange I'm a burning man
In the face of things so strange I'm a burning man
I'm a burning man
I'm a burning man
