Burn Bright

(album: Conventional Weapons - 2013)

So give me all you've got, I can take it
We walked alone in your city lights
Did you make it?
We lit the fire and it's burning bright

Did you take it? Kissed all the boys in your city lights
Did you make it? Left all the stars in your city nights
Can you fake it? I lost my way in your city lights
Clutching me, we stole the fire and it's burning bright

So give me all you've got, I can take it
We walked around in your city lights
'Cause it makes me who I am
We lit the fire and it's burning bright

Not ashamed of what I am
I took the pills for these empty nights
'Cause it makes me who I am

They always told me that you'll never get to heaven
With a life like yours
Well, if you're lost, little boy
Oh, well, the cameras pull you right back down, yeah
It's like a chemical burn
I'm peeling off your skin, yeah
And when you see your face
Well, you'll never be the same again, yeah

'Cause if you just stop breathing
I'll stop, I'll stop my heart
I'll stop breathing, too

So give me all you've got, I can take it
We walked around in your city lights
'Cause it makes me who I am
We lit the fire and it's burning bright

Not ashamed of what I am
I'd trade the world for your city nights
'Cause it makes me who I am

And it makes me who I am
And it makes me who I am

And though I missed the chance for this
I confess that I can't wait until it's gone
Know I mean this every single day

Don't go if you've got more to say
'Cause the world don't need another hopeless cause
Though, it makes me who I am

'Cause it makes me who I am
And you made me who I am
And you made me who I am
Be afraid of what I am

I can take it
We walked around in your city lights
'Cause it makes me who I am
I burned it all and I'm doing fine

'Cause I'll never fade away
If I steal the fire from your city nights
'Cause it makes me who I am
Who I am
