The Burning

Well, how can this happen? Am I dreaming again? Her body's not moving, I'm assuming she's dead This isn't a fucking game There's somebody's life at stake She's covered in bruises But the truth is that I never committed the crime 'Cause I know I could never hurt a fly "Then how'd she lose her life?" "You're in denial" Time to burn and dig The whites of my eyes I wanna tell you But what went on that night? "Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem I'm gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream I want to watch you when you're sleeping and thinking of me" And that's what he told her as he killed her That son of a bitch took away my girl He's gonna pay for it right now 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real This is it My God, take it I'm coming to find you This is your last chance (Blinding) I'll be out in six months With his address and a shotgun And a promise for justice that night (Alright) And I'll be standing at the crime So they can throw me back in prison for my life If they could bring you back to me Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive It was springtime on our wedding day, there were birds in the sky The sun was glowing, it was beautiful and everyone was there I still can't believe that you're gone, I'm so lost I'm sorry (I'm sorry) Don't go Oh, please God, no 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real He's just a murderer Come on, don't I think that I've had enough He says, "You're too late I've got a hole to dig and you think that I've over-reacted? She was (Come here) just so cute I can't resist 'cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous action" So tell me, just tell me Say it for you 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real, he's a murderer 'Cause you'll be lyin' awake (Lying awake) From this nightmare you feel betrayed I gave my life and you took it away Am I dead? Or am I just breathin'? 'Cause you've stolen the one that I like So you'll be sleepin' with the fishes tonight (Woah, alright) (Woah, alright) Sleepin' with the fishes tonight (Oh, yeah) Now listen I'm not religious, but I've learned to pray for her I'm not a violent man, but people can change So while you're sleeping I'll slit your throat and drain your blood And mail it to your mother She'll discover what a mess you've become I think she might like that, I fucking do 'Cause you might think you're in love And he might promise you the world Don't believe what he says He's not real, he's a murderer 'Cause you'll been lyin' awake (Lying awake) From this nightmare, you feel betrayed I gave my life and you took it away There's not a day that goes by But you took it away But you took it away

Well I waited 'til you packed your bags Took a picture and hoped it would last With you all the way through All the nights you and I couldn't have Now I know that it shouldn't be this hard But you've moved yourself so damn far And I won't suffice When there's two thousand miles to drive (I'm sorry) I'm thinking it over (It's not your fault) I'm thinking of all the days and nights We would spend laughing Are you happy– In Colorado, with the mountains? Did you like them? Did you find what you're looking for? (Find what you're looking for?) Because I'm still searching for the life we were living before You seem so young and so full of life While I'm getting older with each hopeless night You're still always on my mind Are we through this time? (Through this time) Well angels should ask you What you're doing with me? I'm an apple who slipped too far from the tree But I'm learning to rot away silently As you grow into something more promising And now we've got these god damn words That mean nothing when I can't see your face Or have your body for touching And everything I eat It tastes like you So what are you trying to prove– In Colorado, with the mountains? Did you like them? Did you find what you're looking for? (Find what you're looking for?) Because I'm still searching for the life we were living before And if I dropped everything and booked a flight From Logan to Denver, that my plane would crash that night 'Cause the odds are against us So all bets are off And just know, you meant more than I ever could want I'm giving up Just give me one more time (One more time) If just for one more night Then I'll be happy to walk away You could put on that dress you know I love Taking your time zipping it up You always knew what I liked They'd base movies off our lust, but somehow they wouldn't suffice So just take your time You've got moves and abuse them Live your life And I've got pictures to prove them You're not that far away (I'm sick of every word I wish you'd say) I'm sure You're burning every note I ever sent So I'll find you– In Colorado, with the mountains Did you like them? Did you find what you're looking for? (Find what you're looking for?) Because I'm still searching for the life we were living before And if I dropped everything and booked a flight From Logan to Denver, that my plane would crash that night 'Cause the odds are against us So all bets are off Just know, you meant more than I ever could want

Here goes the story of a kid we thought we knew He hid a hate inside and had a state of mind That put him in his grave It began with his friends They never noticed the despair in his eyes From the pressure His life was etched in stone Before he made a choice of his own And hes dedicated For everyday that hes made it on his own In his fathers eyes hes a pair of dice He won't be number one He can't be number one So he tries to comply With everything theyve ever asked And his life is stitched with one-way tickets To places he dont want to visit He says Im never gonna be perfect Maybe I dont deserve his trust But Im doing the best I can Ive never dealt with such pressure Feels like my whole lifes etched in stone Before Ive made a choice of my own So save your breath cause youll Need it when you hang from a rope Cause of death: Obvious from your suicide note The last words that filled the page: If no one will listen than no one Will miss me when Im gone Across town his dad falls asleep all alone Never knowing he was never going to come home The last thoughts that filled his head Ill tell him Im sorry Ill Say I regret what I did Its your life Ill live my own life instead His bedrooms filled with emptiness tonight As the silence cuts through like a knife Knowing hes not there
