36 Crazyfists - Better To Burn

Rolling darkness comes to me
Lightning in a bottle catches fire
From all the hell I seem to need

Voice whispers from the hall
Pitch black sun returns to fall
The colors they just seem to be
Eyes shine from beyond the trees
Became the wolf in trade for sleep
And I am the damaged done

So I understand, shell of a man
Who lost everything
Rain on me, rain down on me

Brighter lights and darker shadows
Decorate the hearts that
Stayed so close
Bandage for promise bleeds the most

There were lines in the sky
I couldn't delete to save my life
But I knew, yeah I knew
Pulled out my teeth
Reflect the face
Long way out so make your peace
And swallow all your enemies

So I understand, shell of a man
Who lost everything
Rain on me, rain down on me

Brighter lights and darker shadows
Decorate the hearts that
Stayed so close
Bandage for promise bleeds the most
It bleeds the most

Take as needed for pain
Things we lose and we gain
What did you learn and in turn
Perfect disaster

Brighter lights and darker shadows
Decorate the hearts that
Stayed so close
Bandage for promise bleeds the most

Brighter lights and darker shadows
Decorate the hearts that
Stayed so close
Bandage for promise bleeds the most
It bleeds the most

Underneath I arrive, at my ending south of the lights
Silence golden, revel in shine
Bloodshot eye, diversions disguise

Still listening, keep it up. Mouth of shadows, make your luck
Face to face, cowards amongst, given the chance, give a fuck...

Below the graves, I don't believe I'll ever need to see this depth anyway
Honestly I've had dreams of pulling... of pulling... of pulling your teeth

What we've learned, what we've lost, all in the same year, such a cost
Finding out where the whispers draw near
Echoes steal the waves like air

Still listening, keep it up. Mouth of shadows, make your luck
Face to face, cowards amongst, given the chance, give a fuck...

Below the graves, I don't believe I'll ever need to see this depth anyway
Honestly I've had dreams of pulling... of pulling... of pulling your teeth
Out one by one, one by one, pulling your teeth out...

Pulling your teeth out of your mouth
Where demons sleep, killing the sound

Below the graves, I don't believe I'll ever need to see this depth anyway
Honestly I've had dreams of pulling of pulling... of pulling your teeth
Below the graves, Below the graves, Below the graves, Below the graves

I tried to cover what mattered most, endless dose from my own ghost
Holy wind blowing right on in...

Things I should've been
Coldness of night
Inside winter's sleep
Disturbing what's right

Better to burn, better to leave it all in the dirt (in the dirt)
Wounds that mend, throwing caution to the wind... To the wind...

To the wind of the settled signs, on the end of the losing kind
In that voice it bleeds again, shadow's luck to remind my wins

Things I should've been
Coldness of night
Inside winter's sleep
Disturbing what's right

Better to burn, better to leave it all in the dirt (in the dirt)
Wounds that mend, throwing caution to the wind... To the wind... 
To the wind...  To the wind... 

Fill my lungs with summer's rain
Designs of my escape through the endless drain
Where I'd rather lose myself to the ocean's waves
And swallow the tears of the sun

Death's one last claim...

Better to burn, better to leave it all in the dirt (in the dirt)
Wounds that mend, throwing caution to the wind... To the wind... 
To the wind...  To the wind...

Footsteps on a thousand stars
How lost I'd become
Damaged under sun, left burned
Undone, don't try to save me...

I found my faith in faces
The ones that would never let you die

Thrown to the wolves
They're circling me
Fell sick from the swallow
Life's lessons fall from the sky

Darkness the color suits
I become the ghost
Blackened are the mast
Through the waves we crash
Alone the savior...

I found my faith in faces
The ones that would never let you die

Thrown to the wolves
They're circling me
Fell sick from the swallow
Life's lessons fall from the sky

In disguise upsetting, lonesome alive...
In disguise upsetting, lonesome alive...
Lonesome alive...

Alone the savior, become the ghost

Thrown to the wolves
They're circling me
Fell sick from the swallow
Life's lessons fall from the sky

Thrown to the wolves
They're circling me
Fell sick from the swallow
Life's lessons fall from the sky

Unused to shield your eyes for the
Millionth time
Diversions cast the veil on all
Arriving eyes

They tried to bury me
And damn near succeeded
I got pulled out from the deep
From the ones I needed

Pushing back the sky
Below we lose
Everything tonight
Let it lie
Slowly we fall asleep
To find the things we need
To keep alive
Then let it die...

White winter whispered
She sang to me
How do you take your spirits?
Loyalty free?


They tried to bury me
And damn near succeeded
I got pulled out from the deep
From the ones I needed

Pushing back the sky
Below we lose
Everything tonight
Let it lie
Slowly we fall asleep
To find the things we need
To keep alive
Then let it die...

And I was wrong to think
That I'd be immune to this...
And I was wrong to think
That I'd be immune to this...
Immune to this...

With every dream
That has turned to dust
Rebuilding loss
Through elusive trust

I crawl with weighted breath
Since the end became much less
Skyline returns the moon
To light up anything left

And what do we know now
Since the fame had such distaste?
Face in the mirror
Reflection full
Reflection full of shame

What comes from below
With morning's eye
Quickly reminds with reasons why

I crawl with weighted breath
Since the end became much less
Skyline returns the moon
To light up anything left

And what do we know now
Since the fame had such distaste?
Face in the mirror
Reflection full
Reflection full of shame

Long walk aftermath
Smoke begins to clear
Real remain real
Fake disappear

Head on instead
Replace the pain
Eyes ahead
Demise of those days

Head on instead
Replace the pain
Eyes ahead
Demise of those days

With every fall
Begin to eat
Death's reminder of
Eternal sleep
Eternal sleep

I crawl with weighted breath
Since the end became much less
Skyline returns the moon
To light up anything left

And what do we know now
Since the fame had such distaste?
Such distaste?
Face in the mirror
Reflection full
Reflection full of shame

And what do we know now
Since the fame had such distaste?
Such distaste?
Face in the mirror
Reflection full
Reflection full of shame

I've been tryin' to breathe out loud
Filling lungs inside out
All worn out from going purely straight
The less I feel the more I change
Pouring black upon my haste
Look up from below
Eyes awake...

Hurricane of dreams
My hands on throats
And those guilty teeth
They speak so
Speak so sweet...

Did it need to get me back
Somethings crack along the way
Sank so hard, it wears me well
Choking on my long gone farewell...

Sounds of sleep that only tease
Breaking down inside of me
Where destruction leads my every vice
Only now does it feel
Like everything slowly heals
In turn I'll take my own advice...

Hurricane of dreams
My hands on throats
And those guilty teeth
They speak so
Speak so sweet...

Did it need to get me back
Somethings crack along the way
Sank so hard, it wears me well
Choking on my long gone farewell...

Hurricane of dreams
My hands on throats
And those guilty teeth
They speak so
Speak so sweet...

Did it need to get me back
Somethings crack along the way
Did it need to get me back
Somethings crack
Somethings crack
Did it need to get me back
Somethings crack along the way
Somethings crack along the way
Choking on my long gone farewell...

Holding onto sickness, kept me tied to the road of old
What was once a hand faith turned to rust from gold
Weakening position where I place my eyes alone
There is a loss all around, there is birth again I know

Pull me out of the dirt, let the light cleanse me
Second chances were meant to divide
The death of our woes, of our woes...

I'm surfacing again let the light come clean my bones
From the ice and snow below, buried deep in hope...

Violence, the color outweighs lines of magnitude
Where a cold brush with death makes it hard enough to chew
Poisonous, the bottle that takes shape in solitude
Where the numbing outlives hell until the ends just come unglued...

Pull me out of the dirt, let the light cleanse me
Second chances were meant to divide
The death of our woes, of our woes...

I'm surfacing again let the light come clean my bones
From the ice and snow below, buried deep in hope...

Empty the tank, leave it all on the floor
Empty the tank, leave it all on the floor
Better to breathe in the sinking of the coast
Inside the throes, inside the throes of the bend...

I'm surfacing again let the light come clean my bones
From the ice and snow below, buried deep in hope...

Clean my bones

I went ahead and burned the bridges down
They lit my way as everything
Crashed into the ground
Settling the dust and
Scraping back my shape
They weight I carry, flames slowly fade away

I hear the noise of a thousand voices,
Screaming from their lungs
To get back up

I'll be lucky if I make it out
Alive from the inside out
I felt I'd died
I didn't know that I was sinking
Another line in this waking
Advice where my sense were
Telling me only true lies
And I wanted to bleed dry...
Bleed dry...

No sound, just waves, the kind that
Take the rain away
Free fall into dust
Many things to say
And those to let die, ones to bury and
Ones to bring to life...

I hear the noise of a thousand voices,
Screaming from their lungs
To get back up

I'll be lucky if I make it out
Alive from the inside out
I felt I'd died
I didn't know that I was sinking
Another line in this waking
Advice where my sense were
Telling me only true lies
And I wanted to bleed dry...
Bleed dry...

See through static and I struggle to let go
Thoughts undressed where I'm a mess
Into oblivion...
See through static and I struggle to let go
Thoughts undressed where I'm a mess
Into oblivion...

Buried to stay, I lost my way, into the dirt
Alone I lay...
Buried to stay, I lost my way, into the dirt
Alone I lay...

I'll be lucky if I make it out
Alive from the inside out
I felt I'd died
I didn't know that I was sinking
Another line in this waking
Advice where my sense were
Telling me only true lies
And I wanted to bleed dry...

I'll be lucky if I make it out alive
Make it out alive
And bleed dry...
Bleed dry...

Take time to cut it out of you
Blinding scene it's deafening and only cause it's true...

Words collide and fail at the same time
Abandoned by the closest on your side, then left to die...

Handed your own heart from the outside
I never knew the shadow of doubt would leave without
I paint a picture of what it used to be, then set it on fire to rid it out of me, rid it out of me...
Rid it out of me...

Taste it down and swallow all the black
A reckoning, it's silencing, a finish to the end

Words collide and fail at the same time
Abandoned by the closest on your side, then left to die...

Handed your own heart from the outside
I never knew the shadow of doubt would leave without
I paint a picture of what it used to be, then set it on fire to rid it out of me, rid it out of me...
To Rid it out...

Sometimes the glitter, see through and clear
Broken vows ring sirens of fear
I never meant to kill us like I did
If it's over, say it's over, she did

I look at my face and what it's done to me. Can't live in this space
Because what it's done to me...

I paint a picture of how it used to be
Then set it on fire to rid it out of me... Rid it out of me...
To rid it out...

Left inside of silence with ways to avoid
Wish only violence again for ways to destroy

Becoming broken, lost and unaware, sinking deeper and deeper

Walk away from wars
Death below, shadowed by these ghosts I used to know
Walk away from wars
I used to know, shadowed by these ghosts
From death below, from death below

Right side of dirt, I awake. Exit the edge of the blade
Distance yourself from the shallow grave and light the way...

Becoming broken, lost and unaware, sinking deeper and deeper

Walk away from wars
Death below, shadowed by these ghosts I used to know
Walk away from wars
I used to know, shadowed by these ghosts
From death below, from death below

Capsized from the heavy skies, tonight the lights go answered
Taste the storm of a mouthful of mines
Clear the slate or just remain...

Wars to walk away from...
Death below, shadowed by these ghosts I used to know
Wars to walk away from...
I used to know, shadowed by these ghosts
From death below
Wars to walk away from...

It reminds me of the dark that I've gone weary
So many ways to save the day but it eludes me
How did I get here, how did I fall?
Such a blur from the memories, plagues that I belong

Where revenge ends
We lose ourselves tonight
Where love lives
I find myself asleep

If only time goes along 'cause it gets windy
Avalanche of hell, you start to win again
The color red becomes, never want to leave
Just an ornament to hang inside of me

Where revenge ends
We lose ourselves tonight
Where love lives
I find myself asleep
Where revenge ends
We lose ourselves tonight
Where love lives
I find myself asleep in the light
