I Burn is the 11th and final song on the 1994 album Rubberneck by Toadies.
The song covers the theme of self-immolation as a means of becoming pure and a non-physical being. It is told from the perspective of a cult member who self-immolates to transcend the physical realm and become a higher power...
I Burn Lyrics
Driftin' upward
Gently lifting
Lazy on the wind
Rollin' over
Turnin' slowly
Beginning and the end
Fire is bright
Fire is clean
Never so alive
Smoke is freedom
Flame is mercy
I am free tonight
And I burn
I burn
Stoke the embers
Cleanse the spirit
A prayer in every spark
Feel the lick of
Bad religion
The finish and the start
In the beginning
We were smarter
And the flame was heaven sent
Through the ages
We got stupid
Now we must repent
And I burn
I burn
Sift the ashes
For reminders
Stony things remain
Tooth and bone
Unimpressive
I have left these things
Because fire is bright
Fire is clean
Efficient and divine
Tooth and bone
Charms and dolls
I am free tonight
I'm on
The air
You breathe
I'm on
The air
You Breathe
I'm on
The air
You breathe
And I burn
I burn
I burn
I burn
