What It Is To Burn

Finch What It Is To Burn Lyrics
1.New Beginnings

Hand me downs and photographs
Spread across the floor
A broken record spins in circles
She can't listen anymore
She's turned around a thousand times
She set that bridge a fire

But did you wanna listen
You took the world with you
So what is left
So what is left for me

I called you on the phone again
Just the other day
It sounds to me you found your place
And everything is great

But did you wanna listen
You took the world with you
So what is left
So what is left for me

I try
So hard to figure out
Why
No explanation keeps me waiting
Lets try
Because I know you won't forget
I know
Even if the story is over

But did you wanna listen
You took the world with you
So what is left for me
So what is left for me

But did you wanna listen
You took the world with you
So what is left
So what is left for me

What's left for me


2.Letters To You

Can't you see that I wanna be there with open arms
It's empty tonight and I'm all alone
Get me through this one

Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?

I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so

I'm writing again these letters to you aren't much, I know
But I'm not sleeping and you're not here
The thought stops my heart

Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?


No more looking I've found home


I'm gone away
I'm gone away


3.Post Script

I wish it didn't hurt, hurt like this
To say these things to you.
I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth.

If we get through tomorrow then we'll be fine.
We'll wait for forever and see how close we get.

It's just another day, one more chance
to get this right.
I'll sacrifice forever please just for tonight.

If we get through tomorrow then we'll be fine.
We'll wait for forever and see how close we get.

The worst is over for now.
Take a breath now let it out.


4.Grey Matter

Bite the tongue, to live with what you've done.
It's so good.
Lie to myself while I lie with myself.
It's Monday and it's raining.
It's Sunday in the sun.
It's so good, but...
Would it be so bad,
if you were to pretend that you were so happy?
Keep it to yourself,
don't let the secret go.
If you were so willing.
But let's pray for this suicide
and all these pictures falling down around me.
I've surrounded myself with all I have inside.
Would I bite my tongue,
and live with what you've done?
Just continue sleeping?
Selfishly consumed with everything you've wrought.
There's nothing I can do.
But let's pray for this suicide
and all these pictures falling down.
One wish full, step to the side.
And please just let me know...
Are you happy?
I'll decide.
These stories are so old,
how they match your eyes.
But let's pray for this suicide
and all these pictures falling down.
One wish full, step to the side
and pick these pictures from the ground that surround me.


5.Perfection Through Silence

Alone at last
together in a photograph.
Our eyes are always open
devoted to perfection through silence.
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more.
This story is old
only to those that have no mold.
The truth can be bought or sold.
But what are we buying?
Nothing but silence.
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more.
Fold the corners,break the silence,
fold the corners just for tonight...
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more.


6.Awake

One devotion to an empty moment.
Can't you stay tonight?
Silence broken with words unspoken.
Now she's on her knees (no more)

"Feeling so useless, can I beg for one more?" she said
Taking with arms wide open.
Longing for sleep again.

The air is clearing.
Again, we're breathing.
Water turns to wine.
The day is tired,
the night inside her.
Now she is alive (no more)

"Feeling so useless, can I beg for one more?" she said.
Taking with arms wide open.
Longing for sleep again.

But now, I'm awake...
But now, I'm awake...
But now, I'm awake...

Keep breathing, 'til you feel something,
Take my breath
(Away!) Keep breathing, 'til you feel something, take my breath
away
(Away!) Keep breathing, 'til you feel something, take my breath
away
(Away!) Keep breathing, 'til you feel something, take my breath
away
(Away!) Keep breathing, 'til you feel something, take my breath
away

"Feeling so useless, can I beg for one more?" she said.
Taking with arms wide open.
Longing for sleep again.

But now, I'm awake (I'm awake)
But now, I'm awake (I'm awake)
But now, I'm awake (I'm awake)
But now, I'm awake


7.Without You Here

The storm is bad tonight,
so how could I awake without you here?
Your picture's on the wall.
You haven't called.
But I'll wait for you.

To her own reflection,
she says, "I will hold on"
To her own reflection,
she says, "I will be strong"

The storm is letting up,
but it won't die.
If you weren't wrong, was I?
Your picture still remains,
but I wonder are you still the same?

To her own reflection,
she says, "I will hold on"
To her own reflection,
she says, "I will be strong"

Am I losing you?
Am I losing you?!
I've waited, I've waited til it's over
It's over now...

To her own reflection,
she says, "I will hold on"
To her own reflection,
she says, "I will be strong"


8.Stay With Me

Once again your eyes make it hard to say goodbye
So I'll just keep driving
Where do you wanna go?
It doesn't really matter as long as you are here with me
With me
With me

Whoa, there's something in the air tonight
Something that makes me feel alive and I say
Whoa, what were the words that you said to me
That made me feel so special now

Once again your eyes make it hard to ask you why
So I sit here knuckles tight
Hands against the wheel
Your head against the glass and you mean so much to me
To me
To me

Whoa, there's something in the air tonight
Something that makes me feel alive and I say
Whoa, what were the words that you said to me
That made me feel so special now

Whoa (stay with me)
Whoa (stay with me)
Whoa (stay with me)
Whoa (stay)
Stay with me
Cigarettes and open air, hand in hand
I said stay with me
Cuz every star that I see is brighter than the last
So stay with me


9.Project Mayhem

She shouts, "The most incessant, the most deplete"
She said, "Show me conscience with nothing to eat"
She said, "Null the worm"
Let's sober up
Caught in time with the fizz of the burn
And so we burn

Can you begin at the ending,
So that I may begin again?
I took this from you,
I thought I was you
Now don't misunderstand me
I never meant to create you

Only mayhem


10.Untitled

Everything is silent
I feel disconnected
Words turn to phrases, phrases turn to prayer

So now you know
This is my call
Do you hear me?
And if I fall
Will you be there to catch me?

When you close your eyes now
Are you satisfied?
When this is all over, there will be nothing left

So now you know
This is my call
Do you hear me?
And if I fall
Will you be there to catch me?
This is my call
Do you hear me?
And if I fall
Will you be there to catch me?

It's sharpening beneath me
Beneath my feet
The earth opens up
To swallow me
Take my hand and lead me on
Take my hand and lead me on
It's sharpening beneath me
Beneath my feet
It's sharpening beneath me
Beneath my feet

It's sharpening


11.Three Simple Words

Open up my eyes,
Flooded with daylight.
Another sleepless night turns color black and white.

With all the things I've said,
There is just regret.
Repeating in my head.

Hands into a fist,
Static in my head.
Now I'm sitting face to face with loneliness.

What did I expect?
Did I see forever
in you?

I never wanted it to hurt
more than it should.
I hope you're satisfied,
I never could.

Time to close my eyes
Forget about this mess.
Tried to fix this tragic loss of innocence.

But how can I forget,
The things I haven't done.
When everything is dead?

I never wanted it to hurt
more than it should.
I hope you're satisfied,
I never could.

Can't you see that you left me
here on my own.
Give me one good reason why I should let go

With my hands around your neck
who will stop me now?
With my hands around your neck
who will stop me now?
with my hands around your neck
who will stop me now?
with my hands around your neck

I never wanted it to hurt
more than it should.
I hope you're satisfied,
I never could.

Can't you see that you left me
here on my own.
Give me one good reason why I should let go now....


12.Ender

Here I am beside myself again.
I'm torn apart by words that you have said.
And all in all,
I know we're falling apart.
Where did you run to so far away?
Here we are to sing you a song.
There you are asleep against the window pane
just like always.
You said you like to hear the rain sometimes.
And all I can do is tell you the truth.
And oh, my eyes will tell you the same.
Here we are to sing you a song.
There you are asleep again.
Grasp our hands together,
we feel we are one result.
And here we are to sing you a song.
And there you are asleep again...


13.What It Is To Burn

She burns

Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy, every day
And still:

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire
But I am safe in here, from the world outside

So tell me
What's the price to pay for glory?

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn

Today is fire, and she burns
Today is fire, and she burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns
She burns

Like a bad star, I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows, what it is to burn
