Life's A Burning Building

Verse 1
Life’s a burning building, you can’t escape
Smoke in your lungs, sweat on your fate
Every exit sign’s been shot to hell
And the fire don’t care who rings the bell
They say “stay calm,” but calm don’t breathe
When the roof comes down on what you believed
Pre-Chorus
I’ve seen prayers melt into the floor
Heard hope scream once, then nothing more
Chorus
Life’s a burning building, you can’t get out
You can crawl, you can run, you can curse, you can shout
Some folks jump, some just stand and wait
Me—I light a cigarette and walk through the flame
Yeah, life’s a burning building
And I ain’t afraid
Verse 2
Raised on bad news and borrowed time
Handshake deals and crooked signs
Everybody’s selling fireproof lies
While the heat keeps climbing in their eyes
I don’t trust ladders, I don’t trust saints
They all burn the same when the walls cave in
Pre-Chorus
If this is hell, it’s well-designed
Looks just like home with better light
Chorus
Life’s a burning building, you can’t get out
You can pray, you can beg, you can scream it loud
Some folks break, some negotiate
Me—I make peace with the smoke and wait
Yeah, life’s a burning building
And I ain’t afraid
Bridge
No sirens coming, no rescue crew
Just you and the truth and the heat you choose
A man ain’t judged by how he’s saved
But how he stands when he’s engulfed in flames
Chorus (Half-Time / Meaner)
Life’s a burning building, doors all sealed
Faith turns brittle when it gets real
You can die on your knees or stand up straight
I’ll die walking forward through the blaze
Outro
Life’s a burning building, match already struck
You don’t beat the fire—you decide how you burn up

I like the driving drums in the chorus.
I also liked this line: "Me—I make peace with the smoke and wait"
though I thought maybe "sweat on your face" rather than "sweat on your fate".
Bit dark for me overall.

"raised on bad news and borrowed time" is a nice line - I like the comparison between a fire/burning building and dealing with life - very prescient observation
This could be a theme for a Fire/Rescue TV Show lol

Lyrically it was well written, it had a lot of great lines! The melody seemed a little too noisy for me, I don't know what it is. It's a great song for a Wild, Wild, West movie.
The song is reality and poetic! My favorite:
"I don’t trust ladders, I don’t trust saints
They all burn the same when the walls cave in"
Your songwriting is topnotch!
