Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your lighter on my sink Said "It's just a thing " but it burned like a sign Your name still scratched in my front door paint All shallow cuts that keep reopening my mind [Pre-Chorus] You walk away like you never broke anything I taste your storm in every breath I take [Chorus] So burn me at the stake for loving you Stack every promise like dry wood Let it bloom If this is how you want to watch me break Strike the match Light it up Burn me at the stake (burn me, burn me) [Verse 2] I slam the cupboards just to hear them talk The plates remember how you used to stay Your ghost is pacing in my hallway shoes Every quiet room keeps screaming out your name [Pre-Chorus] You twist the blame like a ring around your finger I choke on words I never got to say [Chorus] So burn me at the stake for loving you Stack every promise like dry wood Let it bloom If this is how you want to watch me break Strike the match Light it up Burn me at the stake (oh, burn me, burn me) [Bridge] I won't beg for water Let the fire climb Let the sparks write curses Across the sky tonight If pain's your only language Then hear me when I say I'd rather turn to ashes Than fade away [Chorus] So burn me at the stake for loving you Build up the pyre with every half-truth you abused If this is how you get your twisted grace Strike the match Light it up Watch me blaze Watch me fade Burn me at the stake (burn me, burn me)

rock, Dark indie new wave rock with male vocals; tightly wound palm-muted guitars under a pulsing bass, tom-heavy drums, and a sharp, repeating riff that grows more distorted each section. Verses stay tense and controlled; choruses explode with layered background vocals and crashing cymbals. Cinematic swells, feedback tails, and a final half-time breakdown drive the anger and heartbreak., new wave, indie rock
