lyrics

Choked out by bleeding hands
As I kiss the lips of a new romance
When it all goes wrong
It just feels so right

I watch this world as it watches me
In complicated simplicity
Stumble through the dark to run through the light

Folded arms tell a thousand words
But I don't hear one that I deserve
Free from your mind, stuck to your toungue

Close the book and I'm moving on
It's easy to admit the path is gone
When standing alone means no more pain
There's no more ways to drive yourself insane
No, No, No

[CHORUS]
Will it burn long enough to make a mockery out of the things we trust?

I needed you-to remind me of the things I shouldn't do
You like to kick me when I was down
I got a habit of turning around

I got a thicker skin, I got scars to prove every fight I'm in.

I needed you-to remind me of the things I shouldn't do
You like to kick me when I was down
I made a habit of turning around

Take my hand and we'll walk this line
To a place that I was forced to spend my time
Trying to figure out the difference between dreams and nightmares
And every spirit's shackled to the ground
Makes us want to burn this place down

[CHORUS]

I know things have changed, but more have stayed the same
But I'm not complaining
Why do we give our souls to those who don't have their own?

So burn like the last fading star
I'm busy rebuilding my heart
So I can give it to the angel who ripped off her halo
Burn, Burn, Burn
Burn, Burn, Burn...
