Alkaline Trio Burn Lyrics

Burn Lyrics

There's a lightning storm each and every night 

Crashing inside you like motorbikes 

We toss and turn, sleep so loud 

Grind the teeth in our empty mouths 

Our empty 



There's a forest fire burning bright 

Spreading quickly towards our last rights 

Nowhere to run, pointless to hide 

Just lay there and scream, pretending to try 

Pretending 



Intending to burn, pretending to fight it 

Everyone learns faster on fire 

Things took a turn, lost all desire 

You live and you burn 

You live and you burn 



This impending doom is left deep inside 

And it's haunting you each and every night 

Light starving wolves, drowning sheep 

We close our eyes, pretending to sleep 

Descending 



Intending to burn, pretending to fight it 

Everyone learns faster on fire 

Things took a turn, lost all desire 

You live and you burn 

You live and... 



Like hell, we are anxiously waiting 

Like hell burning silently strong 

Somehow we fell down by the wayside 

And somehow this hell is home 



As we burn, pretending to fight it 

Everyone learns faster on fire 

Things took a turn, lost all desire 

You live and you burn 

You live and 

Like hell, we are anxiously waiting 

Like hell burning silently strong 

Somehow we fell down by the wayside 

And somehow this hell is home 

Right now, this hell is my home
