Burn Me Clean

Lyrics I carried your name like a stone in my throat Cold in my hands, too heavy to hold The room went quiet, the air went thin I heard the first crack under my skin Slow steps in the wreckage Glass in the carpet, red on the sleeve You left a shape in the doorway I still mistake for a reason to breathe My heart was a tower Built from a match and a prayer Now every floor is falling And I’m still standing there Say it again Say I’m gone I want the truth I want it strong Burn me clean Burn me clean I was never yours to keep Burn me clean Burn me clean I wake up fierce, I wake up mean (tear it down) Burn me clean Burn me clean I’m the spark you couldn’t leash Now the drums get faster Now the blade of the riff cuts deep I fed your fire for nothing Watched my own shadow learn to scream Hands in the smoke I can taste the metal in my mouth You made a saint out of suffering I made a way back out Say it again Say I’m done I want the knife I want the sun Burn me clean Burn me clean I was never yours to keep Burn me clean Burn me clean I wake up fierce, I wake up mean (tear it down) Burn me clean Burn me clean I’m the spark you couldn’t leash Burn Burn Burn me clean No mercy No chains No more I let the old bones rattle I let the dead weight fall What you called my breaking Was me learning how to crawl Then how to run Then how to rise With your shadow under me And fire in my eyes Burn me clean Burn me clean I was never yours to keep Burn me clean Burn me clean I wake up fierce, I wake up mean (tear it down) Burn me clean Burn me clean I’m the spark you couldn’t leash Burn me clean Burn me clean Burn me clean
