[Verse 1]
Blank walls
Peeling like old skin
Clock hands
Scratching at my grin
I laugh
Just to hear a sound
I sink
While everyone stands proud
[Chorus]
Let my world burn around me
Let it all fall
Let it all fall
If these ashes ever doubt me
I’ll still crawl
I’ll still crawl
Drowning in the fear I breathe
Choking on the things I see
Let my world burn around me
I won’t beg to be set free
[Verse 2]
Cold bed
Crowded by my thoughts
Tight chest
Tangled in the knots
I pray
To a ceiling crack
“Take this
Or don’t give it back”
[Chorus]
Let my world burn around me
Let it all fall
Let it all fall
If these ashes ever doubt me
I’ll still crawl
I’ll still crawl
Drowning in the fear I breathe
Choking on the things I see
Let my world burn around me
I won’t beg to be set free
[Bridge]
If I disappear
Would the dust care?
If I scream here
Would it stain the air?
I’m so tired of this tired heart
But it still beats in the dark (beats in the dark)
[Chorus]
Let my world burn around me
Let it all fall
Let it all fall
If these ashes ever doubt me
I’ll still crawl
I’ll still crawl
Drowning in the fear I breathe
Choking on the things I see
Let my world burn around me
’Til there’s nothing left of me
