"Are You on Fire?" is the first single from Caving Grounds' upcoming EP, Become Soil.

A blistering rebuke of keyboard warriors who run their mouths online but never go to shows, throw down in the pit, or even leave their house. (You know who you are, buddy)

If you're gonna talk shit, put your body where your mouth is.

lyrics

We’ve heard it all before, it’s no surprise—
serpents surround us for hundreds of miles,
forked tongues and knifed backs abound.
Cowards like you just talk shit when no one’s around.

I can barely see through all this smoke.
Can you hear us laughing? You’re a joke.

You’re a fucking joke!
We see you blowing smoke.
You’re a fucking joke—
I hope you choke!

Are you on fire? Do you burn?
Can’t sing along, don’t know the words.
I smell your bullshit from the street,
and we will gladly gatekeep
assholes with no concept
of community. You’re not a threat.
Don’t know shit about this hardcore shit!
Come on, man, be honest:
Does the ember burn inside of you?
Do you feel the agonizing glow?
You either have it or you don’t,
and if you had it, you would know—

and if you had it, it would show!

I can barely see through all this smoke.
Can you take the heat, or will you choke?

We’ve heard it all before, it’s no surprise—
serpents surround us for hundreds of miles,
forked tongues and knifed backs abound.
Cowards like you just talk shit when no one’s around.

Just make it go away,
all I can do is think.
It’s been like 7 days,
I need to see my shrink.
Just make it go away,
all I can do is think.
It’s been like 7 days,
I need to see my shrink!
Just make it go away,
all I can do is think.
It’s been like 7 days,
I need to see my shrink!

Rearrange my mind for fee
but the darkness hides it all for free.
My behavior aint even halfway right,
I’ve been stuck in fight or flight my whole life.
Sit down and lie to the man behind the curtain,
dissociate until I’m barely a person.
Lurking in a lurch for an hourly rate,
Talking to some normie about a sickness that I hate.
Aint it rich? Don’t you think?
Dry heaving bile in the kitchen sink.
I am the missing link, I’m a Sasquatch!
Spill my guts all over and I let this man watch.
Loose nut in my head ain’t the half of it,
I’m on the edge of an endless abyss.
Shivering and shaking like I’m shitting out a dog
shitting razor blades, I’ve been like this for 7 days!

Hangover heart attack inside my head.
Drunk on the no job, bleeding in my bed.
Pushed ‘em all away, no one’s really there.
Losing my mind like I’m losing my hair.
Stand up and pry my mind open
so the silver linings can help me stay gold.
In the old days, they would have burned me at the stake
for the way I behave, living in a fugue state.
Glued to the floor, can’t handle more,
feel like I’m losing an internal cold war.
Never enlisted, I’m conscripted:
one foot, then the other, I keep moving like a dipshit!

Just make it go away,
all I can do is think.
It’s been like 7 days,
I need to see my shrink!
Just make it go away,
all I can do is think.
It’s been like 7 days,
I need to see my shrink!
Just make it go away,
all I can do is think.
It’s been like 7 days,
I need to see my shrink!
