Nothing Left To Burn

You look at me insatiably

And cavalier, it’s crystal clear

We need a doctor

Can you see this?

I think we lost her

Do you believe this?

So paint my lungs on a blank white page

Cross my arms and mark my grave

Small words, cloven and lifeless

White lies are crawling at your door

You might have seen it all before

You can’t expect me to save you

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time

Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line

Strike a match on my conscience

With nothing left to burn

Shut my eyes and leave me blind

With that cold little heartbeat you left behind

All memory cast to the flame

With nothing left to burn

Red lips and black eyes

As if another day can’t decide

Your colors drain out in violet

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time

Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line

Strike a match on my conscience

With nothing left to burn

Shut my eyes and leave me blind

With that cold little heartbeat you left behind

All memory cast to the flame

With nothing left to burn

I will swallow the blame if you want me to

Our setting Sun shot down in ashes

Another deadend of another bad habit

Lost under the grave where we buried the truth

Cold words on the tip of your tongue

Let me rot in the past where I belong

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time

Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line

Strike a match on my conscience

With nothing left to burn

Shut my eyes and leave me blind

With that cold little heartbeat you left behind

All memory cast to the flame

With nothing left to burn
