ALKALINE TRIO - Burn lyrics

rate me

There's a lightning storm each and every night

Crashing inside you like motorbikes

We toss and turn, sleep so loud

Grind the teeth in our

Our empty mouths (are empty...)

There's a forest fire burning bright

Spreading quickly towards our last rites

Nowhere to run, pointless to hide

Just lay there and scream, pretending to try

Pretending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it

Everyone learns faster on fire

Things took a turn, lost all desire

You live and you burn

You live and you burn

This impending doom is left deep inside

And it's haunting you each and every night

Like starving wolves counting sheep

We close our eyes, pretending to sleep

Descending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it

Everyone learns faster on fire

Things took a turn, lost all desire

You live and you burn

You live and...

Like hell we are anxiously waiting

Like hell burning silently strong

Somehow we fell down by the wayside

And somehow this hell is home

As we burn, pretending to fight it

Everyone learns faster on fire

Things took a turn, lost all desire

You live and you burn

You live and...

Like hell we are anxiously waiting

Like hell burning silently strong

Somehow we fell down by the wayside

And somehow this hell is home

Right now, this hell is my home
