Burn - Alkaline Trio

There's a lightning storm each and every night 
Crashing inside you like motorbikes 
We toss and turn, sleep so loud 
Grind the teeth in our
Our empty mouths (are empty...)

There's a forest fire burning bright 
Spreading quickly towards our last rites 
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide 
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try 
Pretending...

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it 
Everyone learns faster on fire 
Things took a turn, lost all desire 
You live and you burn 
You live and you burn 

This impending doom is left deep inside 
And it's haunting you each and every night 
Like starving wolves counting sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep 
Descending... 

Intending to burn, pretending to fight it 
Everyone learns faster on fire 
Things took a turn, lost all desire 
You live and you burn 
You live and... 

Like hell we are anxiously waiting 
Like hell burning silently strong 
Somehow we fell down by the wayside 
And somehow this hell is home 

As we burn, pretending to fight it 
Everyone learns faster on fire 
Things took a turn, lost all desire 
You live and you burn 
You live and... 
Like hell we are anxiously waiting 
Like hell burning silently strong 
Somehow we fell down by the wayside 
And somehow this hell is home 
Right now, this hell is my home
