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.
Don't look don't look the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Oh don't talk of love, the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end
Just paint your face, the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Dream the crow black dream
