Burn Out Brighter (Northern Lights)

Anberlin · New Surrender [2008]

Live, I wanna live inspired

Die, I wanna die for something



Racing towards the heavens

I fell into a pitch black

I'm moments from landing and I'm shaking like a heart attack



Is the time, can I turn back

I've made mistakes in the past

Need a chance, can't take it back

Wish I could set things right tonight



Live, I wanna live inspired

Die, I wanna die for something higher than myself

Live and die for anyone else

The more I live I see this life's not about me



All I know spins out of control

Wonder what's next for heart and soul

Nothing I earned can save me now

Hearing one day be my final hour



Is the time, can I turn back

I've made mistakes in the past

Need a chance, can't take it back

Wish I could set things right tonight



Live, I wanna live inspired

Die, I wanna die for something higher than myself

Live and die for anyone else

The more I live I see this life's not about me



Don't wanna leave this world knowing I breathed in vain

Looked out for myself, so sorry so ashamed

Don't wanna leave this life knowing I barely tried

Chased all of my dreams that I hid away on the inside



Live, I wanna live on fire

Die, I wanna burn out brighter

Brighter than the Northern lights

Wanna live to feel the daylight

The more I live I see that this life's not about me
