The World Is Burning (song)

by Ixora   Jan 22, 2008


Three glances two shots (down to the floor)
the dates keep on changing (phantoms wanting more)
more than a heart and a body can give (weighed down six feet under) they're begging me to live

but all i hears the music (a hidden melody)
ringing in my ears (it keeps calling me)
come forth to these arms (i will let you go)
from the chains that bind you
and the debts that you owe

say goodbye and let it go
say goodbye just let it go
say goodbye and let me go

baby the world is burning
but i don't wanna be alone
oh but the world is burning
a fire calling me home
the world is burning
burning me

how it always runs, oh ill never know
how you always run, or i let you go

say it, just tell me if you want me to leave
like a disease its spreading, I'm beginning to scream
and between the trees i talk to the walls i threw away
they told me you were lying, you wanted to stay
that the thorns around your heart were nothing to fear
just mild cuts, they reminded, nothing too severe
"and you ran like a coward" but i didn't know then
how the taste of fear was just bittersweet medicine

but now the world is burning
and i don't want to be alone
the world is burning
I'm calling you home
the world is burning
burning no more

-i guess it sounds a little better when its sung but a buddy of mine liked it so i wanted to share : )
