lyrics

BURN THE PHOTOGRAPH

Syllables
So meaningful
Tumble from our lips
They carry weight
They detonate
Each word uttered rips
The myth apart
We can't outsmart
Each other's strategy
We can't be saved
So let's engrave
A stone in memory

No, don't read the epitaph
Go shred the letter
Burn the photograph
All we thought was whole
Was half
Run hell for leather
Burn the photograph

Defibrillate
My coal-black heart
In search of warmer blood
You've won the game
So drop my name
Right there in the mud
Goodbye was kissed
To our list
Of all the plans we laid
Let all the pain
Flow down the drain
Be glad you didn't stay

No, don't read the epitaph
Go shred the letter
Burn the photograph
All we thought was whole
Was half
Run hell for leather
Burn the photograph

Now, syllables
Drip one by one
And gather where they fall
Snap out of this
Dismiss
Our failure in these walls
Leave what cannot be unsaid
And what can't be undone
In the past
Sleep at last
And wake up in the sun

No, don't read the epitaph
Go shred the letter
Burn the photograph
All we thought was whole
Was half
Run hell for leather
Burn the photograph
