A Slower Way to Burn

Don’t say a prayer for me
I’m learning to hate who I grew to be
Under the surface

It’s like my heart’s in two
I am a burning fuse
The best thing I can do is leave in peace

And extinguish in my sleep
Stay back from everything
I’ve learned to cherish

I’ve been living for the pain
Suffocating as I breathe
I am a hollow shell

Always the same
Leave me to blame
I am the only ghost that’s haunting me

This is a slow burn
(This is a slow burn)
On an open wound
And I will let you down like I promised you

Desecrate me inside of my grave
We’re only born to be erased
If hate is my only disease
Then I will stop myself from spreading

Trying over and over
Got nothing left to give
I am a novel sick of being read
Remind me who I used to be
And I will cradle my heart through the memories

Trying over and over
Got nothing left to give
I am a novel sick of being read
Remind me who I used to be
And I will cradle my heart through the memories
