Lyrics

[Intro]

I kept your picture

Facedown in the drawer

Dust on the frame

Like dust on my throat

[Verse 1]

I tried to be gentle

Soft hands

Quiet tongue

Swallowed every echo

Of the venom on my lungs

I built you a heaven

In the hollow of my chest

But every whispered promise

Turned the marrow into rust

[Pre-Chorus]

Your name was a chain

Now it hangs like a trophy

All of this pain

Starts tasting holy

[Chorus]

So I burn it all

Burn it all

Every tender little lie that I ever called love

Let the ashes fall

Ashes fall

On the grave of who I was

I’m done being human for you

Every memory

I rip it apart

I tear out the heart you knew

And wake up the beast in the dark

[Verse 2]

You left your letters

Like knives in the drawer

I read them for years

Till the ink became sores

Now I light each corner

Watch the paper curl and scream

The smoke writes a sermon

I’m too proud to believe

[Pre-Chorus]

Your voice was a cage

Now it cracks as I’m laughing

Every good deed

Just fuel for the cracking

[Chorus]

So I burn it all

Burn it all

Every tender little lie that I ever called love

Let the ashes fall

Ashes fall

On the grave of who I was

I’m done being human for you

Every memory

I rip it apart

I tear out the heart you knew

And wake up the beast in the dark

[Bridge]

[female vocal

Soft

Exposed]

I lay down my halo

On the floor by the door

Let it gather spiderwebs

I don’t need it anymore

I trade every daylight

For the comfort of the void

If there’s a soul inside me

It’s better destroyed

[male roar enters

Call-and-response]

(male) I renounce redemption

(female) I release what made me kind

(male) I embrace corruption

(female) Let it hollow out my mind

(both) I become the hunger

(both) I become the knife

(both) I become the monster

That survives your kind of life

[Final Chorus]

So I burn it all

Burn it all (burn!)

Every tender little lie that I ever called love

Let the ashes fall

Ashes fall

On the grave of who I was

I’m done being human for you (for you)

Every memory

I tear it apart

I walk from the flames brand new

(an immoral monster)

With your ghost rotting out in my heart

[Outro]

[male low growl]

No more halos

Just these teeth

[female

Distant]

I forget you

So I can breathe
