BURN CLEAN

V5.5

[Verse 1 - female] You left your fingerprints on everything I own A ghost inside my mirror, a splinter in my bone I kept your lies like flowers pressed between my ribs Now all that's left is ashes where the good girl used to live [Pre-Chorus - female] I don't cry anymore I just watch it all dissolve You wanted me to break But I became the storm [Chorus - female lead + male screamer] So burn clean, burn clean Let the whole thing catch and fall Burn clean, burn clean I don't need you anymore at all You wanted me on my knees Begging for your perfect dream So burn clean — burn clean Watch me walk away from everything [Verse 2 - female] You called it love but love don't leave you cold You took the warmest parts of me and left a hollow hole I painted over every wall you ever touched And now I paint in red because the grey was just too much [Pre-Chorus - female] I don't scream anymore I just let the silence roar You thought you owned the dark But I was born inside the core [Chorus - female lead + male screamer] So burn clean, burn clean Let the whole thing catch and fall Burn clean, burn clean I don't need you anymore at all You wanted me on my knees Begging for your perfect dream So burn clean — burn clean Watch me walk away from everything [Bridge - male screamer dominant / female underneath] YOU BUILT YOUR THRONE ON BORROWED GRACE AND CALLED MY SUFFERING YOUR SAFE PLACE I WORE YOUR CHAINS LIKE THEY WERE MINE NOT ANYMORE — I'M DONE THIS TIME [Bridge - female soft, almost whispered] I forgive nothing I forget nothing I just let go [Final Chorus - both voices full] Burn clean, burn clean Let the whole thing catch and fall Burn clean, burn clean I don't need you anymore at all You wanted me on my knees Begging for your perfect dream So burn clean — burn clean I'm the fire now I'm the fire now
