Alkaline Trio - Burn

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


Our empty mouths (are empty...)





There's a forest fire burning bright


Spreading quickly towards our last rites


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


Like starving wolves counting 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
