Nothing Left To Burn

You look at me insatiably
And cavalier, it’s crystal clear
We need a doctor
Can you see this?
I think we lost her
Do you believe this?

So paint my lungs on a blank white page
Cross my arms and mark my grave
Small words, cloven and lifeless
White lies are crawling at your door
You might have seen it all before
You can’t expect me to save you

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time
Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line
Strike a match on my conscience
With nothing left to burn
Shut my eyes and leave me blind
With that cold little heartbeat you left behind
All memory cast to the flame
With nothing left to burn

Red lips and black eyes
As if another day can’t decide
Your colors drain out in violet

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time
Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line
Strike a match on my conscience
With nothing left to burn
Shut my eyes and leave me blind
With that cold little heartbeat you left behind
All memory cast to the flame
With nothing left to burn

I will swallow the blame if you want me to
Our setting Sun shot down in ashes
Another deadend of another bad habit
Lost under the grave where we buried the truth
Cold words on the tip of your tongue
Let me rot in the past where I belong

Maybe I’m the one who’s wrong this time
Maybe I’m the one who crossed the line
Strike a match on my conscience
With nothing left to burn
Shut my eyes and leave me blind
With that cold little heartbeat you left behind
All memory cast to the flame
With nothing left to burn
