[Intro – siren-like guitar feedback, then full band SLAMS in] [Verse 1 – angry, desperate] I tried to hold the line I tried to keep the door closed I tried to be the man I was But I’m not him anymore I hear you in my head now I feel you in my veins Every step I try to take back Pulls me into flames [Pre-Chorus – pressure exploding] I’m tired of fighting shadows I’m tired of losing ground [Chorus – HUGE, ANTHEMIC, DESTRUCTIVE] So let it burn If it’s gonna take me anyway Let it burn If I’m already too far gone to save I tried to hold onto the light But it’s fading every day So let it burn Let it burn [Verse 2 – heavier, more furious] I broke my hands on every wall I screamed until I lost my voice I tried to prove I had a choice But you were always there You don’t knock, you don’t wait You don’t ask to come inside You just take what you came for And you don’t apologize [Pre-Chorus – bigger] If this is how it ends Then I won’t look away [Chorus – BIGGER, MORE DESPERATE] So let it burn If it’s gonna take me anyway Let it burn If I’m already too far gone to save I tried to hold onto the light But it’s fading every day So let it burn Let it burn [Bridge – Breakdown, half-time, devastating] [Everything drops heavy and slow] I’m not strong enough I never was [Pause] Do it. [Band explodes back in] [GUITAR SOLO – Wild, chaotic, emotional, falling apart] [This is not a victory solo. This is collapse.] [FINAL CHORUS – MAXIMUM EMOTION AND DESTRUCTION] So let it burn If it’s gonna take me anyway Let it burn If I’m already too far gone to save I tried to hold onto the light But it’s fading every day So let it burn Let it burn [Outro – exhausted, final] I’m not fighting anymore.
