[Verse 1: Ladd Mitchell]
More nightmares
Someone wake me when they're through
Stop my lover's ghost from trying to protrude
(You're burning, you're burning)
It's chaotic, but I've got it
Your letter scratched across my throat
Like some painter's ink spilled to canvas soiling parts of me
[Pre-Chorus: Ladd Mitchell]
Cover up, cover up, all the things you've lost
I know this sucks but one day you'll meet up
I miss the softness of your sound
The taste of you left in my mouth
[Chorus: Ladd Mitchell]
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Such sounds like stomachs stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red horizon in the south
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleed every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
[Verse 2: Ladd Mitchell]
Your shadow
Now lies against the moon
The skin I touched that once
Kissed has come unglued
(You're burning, you're burning)
It's chaotic, but I've got it
More screams than anyone should hear
The voice of you stabs in my chest
Forged and faithless
[Pre-Chorus: Ladd Mitchell]
Cover up, cover up, all the things you've lost
I know this sucks but one day you'll meet up
I miss the softness of your sound
The taste of you left in my mouth
[Chorus: Ladd Mitchell]
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Such sounds like stomachs stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red horizon in the south
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleed every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
[Bridge 1: Jody Pollock, Jody Pollock + Ladd Mitchell]
Darling boy
Lift your chin up for me now
For my veins are safe
And I am smiling looking down
I know you're out of breath
You're hit by the way I've left
Just hold me tight and true
For I'll be waiting
Waiting here for you
[Bridge 2: Ladd Mitchell]
Turn down these lights, I won't be found
This haunting stops right here and now
As permanent as eyes that fixed to me
I'm dying without you, so let it be
Turn down these lights, I won't be found
This haunting stops right here and now
As permanent as eyes that fixed to me
I'm dying without you, so let it be
[Outro: Ladd Mitchell]
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights beat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
