What If I Burn

I don't know If I'm conscious enough to feel the end of the rope Emotionally devoid, incapable of hope, I don't know I don't know I've been watching the water creep in through the door As deep as my misery, it covers the floor So I just float here, timeless, I am restored Shedding the skin you swore I once wore, I now know So leave on a light, hide your dark inside Though it takes hold, leaves you wide-eyed Aren't you tired of feeling lost? (What if I, what if I burn?) Forced to breathe you in, my carcinogen As wе're made, we lеave with nothing One fragile moment for us (What if I, what if I burn?) Burn into nothing We change our form As ash I watch us fall, I watch us Fall into their arms And without your light I find We're washed clean of our past I'm the fortunate one, that this darkness is better than lies I've been sitting on a throne that was forged of their bones So desperately fearful of being alone I'd rather rule their corpses, devoid of a soul Than be screaming in darkness, turning to stone, I don't know If I burn Does it show you the damn that I'm worth? 'Cause as far as I see It makes no difference It makes no difference So leave on a light, hide your dark inside I know it takes hold, leaves you wide-eyed Aren't you tired of feeling lost? (What if I, what if I burn?) Forced to breathe you in, my carcinogen As we're made, we leave with nothing One fragile moment for us What if I, what if I Fall into their arms (What if I, what if I burn?) And we're washed clean of our past? (What if I, what if I) Fall into their arms (What if I, what if I burn?) And we're washed clean of our past? I'm the fortunate one, that this darkness is better than lies
