"What If I Burn" lyrics

"What If I Burn"

I don't know
If I'm conscious enough to feel the end of the rope
Emotionally devoid, incapable of hope
I don't know
I don't know
I've been watching the water creep in through the door
As deep as my misery, it covers the floor
So I just float here
Timeless
I am restored
Shedding the skin
You swore I once wore
I now know

So leave on a light
Hide your dark inside
Though it takes hold
Leaves you wide-eyed
Aren't you tired of feeling lost? (What if I, what if I burn)
Forced to breathe you in
My carcinogen
As we're made, we leave with nothing
One fragile moment for us
(What if I, what if I burn)

Burn into nothing
We change our form
As ash I watch us fall
I watch us...

Fall into their arms
(And without your light I find)
We're washed clean of our past
(I'm the fortunate one, that this darkness is better than lies)

I've been sitting on a throne
That was forged of their bones
So desperately fearful of being alone
I'd rather rule their corpses
Devoid of a soul
Than be screaming
In darkness
Turning to stone
I don't know
If I burn
Does it show you the damn that I'm worth?
Cos' as far as I see
It makes no difference
It makes no difference

So leave on a light
Hide your dark inside
I know it takes hold
Leaves you wide-eyed
Aren't you tired of feeling lost? (What if I, what if I burn)
Forced to breathe you in
My carcinogen
As we're made, we leave with nothing
One fragile moment for us
(What if I, what if I)

Fall into their arms
(What if I, what if I burn)
And we're washed clean of our past
(What if I, what if I)
Fall into their arms
(What if I, what if I burn)
And we're washed clean of our past
I'm the fortunate one, that this darkness is better than lies
