Burn

They say it’s not safe outside

That’s where the hunt lies in wait

But the truth they’re trying to hide

It’s already here

It’s already here!

See them, they have no light behind their eyes

No love, no shame, no beating heart to guide them

A monster wrapped in human skin

And they, they wear their cruelty on their sleeve

Am I the only one to see,

Or just the only one to care

I used to think that I could leave my past behind and I’d be free

But every time I fall asleep,

Those icy hands still burn inside my chest

I’ll make them burn and I’ll be free

Wash my heart in their blood,

And cauterize my soul

No one has ever stayed behind to help

They swore to me that I was always safe here

After all, monsters aren’t real

So I, I stood alone against their rage

Their touch can cut through skin and bone,

Their fingers knives against my heart

I used to think that I could leave my past behind and I’d be free

But every time that I’m alone,

Those icy hands still burn inside my chest

I’ll make them burn and I’ll be free

Wash my heart in their blood,

And cauterize my soul

Close my eyes, will the world fade away

(If I can’t see it isn’t real, If I don’t look then it’s a dream)

Close my heart, feel a thousand miles away in the dark

(If I can’t feel I can’t be hurt, but this is real, this is real)

I used to think that I could leave my past behind and I’d be free

But every time I fall asleep,

Those icy hands still burn inside my chest

I’ll make them scream as I have screamed,

I’ll make them burn as I have burned!
