Burning Out

I’ve thrown my fists in your face

I’ve hit the walls in my way

But I’m getting nowhere fighting everyone

I’ve swallowed my rage

Pointed fingers in your face

Time to step back and see I’ve been wrong

 

I’m sorry for lighting the world on fire

But these flames are bigger than I am, now

I need your thirst, all of our water

To save my soul from burning out

 

Oh I’ve been keeping my head

But something you said

Just made forget how to breathe

I’m sorry I’m quick,

To let the match hit the wick,

Please don’t give up on me yet

 

I’m sorry for lighting the world on fire

But these flames are bigger than I am, now

I need your thirst, all of our water

To save my soul from burning out

 

Cool me down

Drown me out

Don’t leave me alone to

Sit here in my anger

I’ll put out all the fires with my tears

Oh can’t I try it

I’m scorching everything I’ve ever loved

The silence is maddening

When I’m by myself

I have no one else to blame

 

I’m sorry for lighting the world on fire

But these flames are bigger than I am, now

I need your thirst, all of our water

To save my soul from burning out
