"Burn" lyrics

What is left to squeeze out from the stone
When all of the blood is gone from me?
Only a vestige of what was of necessity
Out from under exhaustion
I clear my throat to speak
In line for your attention

Break the bricks under them, one by one
They light the flame and then they run

Burn
Don't let it burn away
Burn
What's lost cannot be saved

What was meant to breathe
Will suffocate from all the born and bred legacies
The privilege wrapped tight 'round the neck of the right to be
A stone unturned, a daughter
So innocent and free
Instead of treading trauma

Smash the silence that surrounds us all
And leave the fire standing tall

Burn
Don't let it burn away
Burn
What's lost cannot be saved

Stand over the flame
Until embers remain
Stand over the flame
Until ashes remain

Slowly scatter what is left to be
Bury your tarnished disbelief

Burn
Don't let it burn away
Burn
What's lost cannot be saved
