We Burn

Under the flicker of a shattered streetlight,

Your voice slices straight through the night.

We struck a match in a room full of lies,

Watched it devour every bridge we built high.

Say my name

Like a warning

Keep it close

We’re already falling

We burn, we burn

We burn down fast

We burn, we burn

Nothing built to last

(We burn)

(We burn)

Ash on your sleeves and a cut on my tongue,

We laughed like thieves when the damage was young.

You pulled me in like a tide with a grudge,

Now every soft word turns hard as a judge.

We held the spark like a knife in the rain,

Pretty little promise, blackened and plain.

Say my name

Like a warning

Keep it close

We’re already falling

We burn, we burn

We burn down fast

We burn, we burn

Nothing built to last

(We burn)

(We burn)

If this is the end, let it end in flame,

Let the smoke write back what we never named.

I won’t beg for the wreck we made,

I’ll walk through the heat and forget your face.

We burn, we burn

We burn down fast

We burn, we burn

Nothing built to last

We burn, we burn

Let it all go black

(We burn)

(We burn)
