Night Terrors

Burn it down and forget What I would try to hide so incessantly, but I just can't find release For all the pain in my heart and the ache, it causes me while I bleed Out for the people who've forgotten me, it's time to say what rests on my mind Ever since I fell to pieces, I've never felt so alive Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun You try to get to safety, but you're losing light This is a force I know I can't fight 'Cause even getting knocked out couldn't make me sleep tonight I hope you scream when you hear my name There's no place on this earth that you can escape I hope you're lost and you never find peace This is the weight of the world, and I won't I'll never let this crash on me Eternal suffering awaits You're just another soul to steal Just because I cannot breathe Doesn't mean I can't feel Now I find you there staring at the edge of the sun You try to get to safety, but you're losing light So you try not to make a sound, no one's saving you now We'll burn it to the ground We'll fucking burn it down Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house, burn It's the only way, burn it down and hope for peace If I ignite it, maybe death will finally save me The pain of being all alone, of lessons never learned Of the constant burning, pain of always chasing things I don't deserve Don't go looking when you know what's there I promise there's no way to prepare But still I wait to fix this other part of me And there's no way that I can breathe without release Please, let me sleep (I was never ashamed) I'm still haunted in my dreams (You always tried to keep me locked away) And everything I've ever come to love has left me (I was never ashamed) 'Cause not a thing in this world is what it seems I wanna know why you don't want me I beg you to find me I’m haunted by the screaming in the night A fear that drives me to resent my name I put these walls to shame I toss and turn, but there's no peace of mind There's no diffusing this eternal hate We'll burn it down in flames Ignite, we'll fucking burn it down Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house Burn it down, burn it down, fucking burn it down Don't leave a trace of evil left in this house
