Burning Bright

(альбом: Into The Past - 2022)

Drown my stomach in gasoline
Fill my lungs with carbon monoxide
I don't what you're asking me
Said I can't stay but I can't go
Legs over this balcony
Break my fall with pavement and street signs
Flamethrowers in back of me
Don't let it burn down

I can't fight
With my hands tied back
I can't try
And take my life back
When my eyes
Are both rolled backwards
I can't try
And read my last words

Take my eyes
I won't believe anything again
I swear I burnt those pages bright
The sieve and sand live inside my head

I kept those paragraphs to myself
Insinuate that I'm wrong
For leaving sacrifices on shelves
Till they're incinerated and gone
Feels like I stumbled into the past
And Faber's words were a guide to me
A fading world is inside of me
I hate the person I tried to be

I can't fight
With my hands tied back
I can't try
And take my life back
When my eyes
Are both rolled backwards
I can't try
And read my last words

I'm blind
I'll never read again
I trusted everything they told me to
Burn bright
Light a pyre for the end
I'll torch it all before they know the truth

Take my eyes
I won't believe anything again
I swear I burnt those pages bright
The sieve and sand live inside my head

I can't fight
With my hands tied back
I can't try
And take my life back
When my eyes
Are both rolled backwards
I can't try
And read my last words
Read my last words
