Burn

'Don't look, don't look,' the shadows breathe

Whispering me away from you

'Don't wake at night to watch her sleep

You know that you will always lose

This trembling, adored, tousled birdmad girl...'

But every night I burn

Every night I call your name

Every night I burn

Every night I fall again



'Oh, don't talk of love,' the shadows purr

Murmuring me away from you

'Don't talk of worlds that never were

The end is all that's ever true

There's nothing you can ever say

Nothing you can ever do...'

Still every night I burn

Every night I scream your name

Every night I burn

Every night the dream's the same

Every night I burn

Waiting for my only friend

Every night I burn

Waiting for the world to end



'Just paint your face,' the shadows smile

Slipping me away from you

'Oh, it doesn't matter how you hide

Find you if we're wanting to

So slide back down and close your eyes

Sleep a while, you must be tired...'

But every night I burn

Every night I call your name

Every night I burn

Every night I fall again

Every night I burn

Scream the animal scream

Every night I burn

Dream the crow black dream

Every night I burn

Scream the animal scream

Every night I burn

Dream the crow black dream



Dream the crow black dream

Dream the crow black dream

Dream the crow black dream
