If I 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.
Whispered:(I'm here)
I could beg a thousand times
I could explain I could use rhymes
And rhythms meant to catch your eye
But I know you wont see
I could cry a thousand tears
I could appease your secret fears
But the louder that I scream the harder your machines close over me
But I don't care, maybe i'm afraid but still I swear
You could take my life with conscience clear but you should still hear
That if I burn
You will see the fire in your mind when you sleep
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes you'll know its me
And the rain won't wash away the ashes underneath your nails today
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
Cause if I burn, so will you
I could bargin but i'd lose
Youll sell the parts that you don't use
Yes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me free
I could threaten you with hell or i could promise not to tell
But the softer I become the harder your machines close over me.
But I don't care, maybe i'm afraid but still I swear,
You could take my life with conscience clear, but you should still hear
And if I burn
You will see the fire in your mind when you sleep
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes you'll know its me
And the rain won't wash away the ashes underneath your nails today
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
Cause if I burn, so will you.
When you sleep you'll feel my icy fingers crawling down your back
And when you wake you'll find me right beside you waiting to attack
And when you walk i will be right behind you quickening my steps
And when you try to shut me out I will be laughing in your head.
Oh i'll be there, maybe i'm afraid but still I swear
You could take my life with conscience clear but you should still hear
That if I burn
You will see the fire in your mind when you sleep
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes you'll know its me
And the rain won't wash away the ashes underneath your nails today
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
Cause if I burn, so will you
There are two sides to every story...
Except for THIS ONE.
It's not over till it's over
And it's never over
You can break me
Death can take me
But it's never over
It's not over till it's over
And it's never over
You can break me
Death can take me
But it's never over
