burn

original by @alexayers lyrics by @omniamore [Verse 1] I lie in bed, stare at the ceiling Same thing - awareness, apathy, no feeling It all repeats, the same old song I light the match, I know it’s wrong I burn myself just to be bright Each time I crash, I say I’ll learn But deep inside, I love to burn [Chorus] We can stay quiet, or we can sing Stand still or run from everything A giant heart inside a fragile shell Burn, but don’t burn out It’s the only way we feel alive Burn, to shine [Verse 2] I smoke, the laptop’s on my knees The music hums like fading breeze I’m tired, but somehow this Is all I need The world outside keeps screaming loud But no one hears us through the crowd And still I strike the match again Pretend the fire kills the pain (haha it doesn't) [Chorus] We can stay quiet, or we can scream Be numb or chase a dying dream A blue whale caught in endless net Still burning through the cold regret Burn, but don’t burn out Burn - so you can heal [Bridge] If truth begins to rip your skin Let fire rise from deep within They won’t get it - but let them be You’re not a spark, you’re the whole sea [Final Chorus] We can stay quiet, or we can sing Fall down or rise from everything A heavy soul that longs to feel Still burns because the pain is real (but is it?) Burn - but don’t destroy Burn, but don’t burn out - otherwise life is boring (right?) Burn, but don’t burn out. Burn to shine. [Outro] Burn But don’t burn out Burn To be Burn..
