Burn It All

Could you please stay here, if just for a moment?

I don’t trust being alone right now

Every breath I take, coalesces into shallow storms

Still I push you away

I’ve only got myself to blame

So this is what’s left of me

Paralysed in a state of constant atrophy

I’m counting shadows borne of misery

Shelter myself from the unforeseen

This is all too much for me

I watched you drifting back amongst the walls

As I sink into my own personal hell

To light the pyre on the way I was before

You won’t recognise me anymore

So burn it all

Coz I’ve lost everything, can’t bare to hold on to memories

I never wanted this, to be such a mess

(Burn it all)

Where I found happiness, you saw dependency

And that gave you enough reason to leave

Setting in to this decrepit place

As my mental state disintegrates

I wither away

And something inhuman remains

I’ve been replaced

I’m counting shadows borne of misery

Shelter myself from the unforeseen

This is all too much for me

I watched you drifting back amongst the walls

As I sink into my own personal hell

To light the pyre on the way I was before

You won’t recognise me anymore

So burn it all

Coz I’ve lost everything, can’t bare to hold on to memories

I never wanted this, to be such a mess

(Burn it all)

Where I found happiness, you saw dependency

And that gave you enough reason to leave
