Burn
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine, said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Angelica said
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said: Be careful with that one, love
He will do what it takes to survive
You and your words flooded my senses
Your sentences left me defenseless
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
You built cathedrals
I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me
Searching and scanning for answers
In every line, for some kind of sign
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
Burn
You published the letters she wrote you
You told the whole world how you brought
This girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
Do you know what Angelica said
When she read what you’d done?
She said: You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you
I’m erasing myself from this narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
Burn
Watching it burn
