Excuses Burn Nicely

One spark, One lie, Watch it hiss. Your “tomorrow”s pile like tinder, Pretty promises in dust. I strike the day against them— Hear the future flare to rust. Sweat beads like gasoline, Drips a fuse along your skin; Every heartbeat fans the ember, Every breath invites the sin. Drums like iron doors slamming, Bassline growls like chain— Discipline’s an arsonist With elegance in flame. [Chorus] Excuses burn nicely— Strike, ignite, let them scream. Excuses burn nicely— Watch the smoke replace the dream. Move, grind, brightly— Fire’s cheaper than regret. Excuses burn nicely— Light them, leave them, sweat. Neon synths hiss static, Clock hands sharpened steel; Time carves deeper warnings That ash alone can seal. You barter with inertia, I bring the price in sparks; Momentum tastes like sulfur, Endurance loves the dark. Drums like iron doors slamming, Bassline growls like chain— Discipline’s an arsonist With elegance in flame. [Chorus] Excuses burn nicely— Strike, ignite, let them scream. Excuses burn nicely— Watch the smoke replace the dream. Move, grind, brightly— Fire’s cheaper than regret. Excuses burn nicely— Light them, leave them, sweat. Count the matches: one for every “later,” One for every softer choice. When the count runs out, Only action keeps its voice. [Final Chorus] Excuses burn nicely— Strike, ignite, let them scream. Excuses burn nicely— Watch the smoke replace the dream. Move, grind, brightly— Fire’s cheaper than regret. Excuses burn nicely— Light them, leave them, sweat. Excuses burn nicely— Nothing left to fret. Ashes clear the path. Step forward. Again.
