If I Burn
[Emily, Ghosts:]I could beg a thousand timesI could explain, I could use rhymesAnd rhythms meant to catch your eyeBut I know you won't seeI could cry a thousand tearsI could appease your secret fearsBut the louder that I screamThe harder your machines close over me
But I don't careMaybe I'm afraid, but still I swearYou could take my life with conscience clearBut you should still hear that
If I burn, you will seeThe fire in your mind when you sleepAnd if I rise up in smoke around your eyesYou'll know it's meAnd the rain won't wash awayThe ashes underneath your nails todayDoesn't matter where you go or what you do'Cause if I burn, so will you
I could bargain but I'd loseYou'll sell the parts that you don't useYes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me freeI could threaten you with HellOr I could promise not to tellBut the softer I becomeThe harder your machines close over me
But I don't careMaybe I'm afraid, but still I swearYou could take my life with conscience clearBut you should hear that
If I burn, you will seeThe fire in your mind when you sleepAnd if I rise up in smoke around your eyesYou'll know it's meAnd the rain won't wash awayThe ashes underneath your nails todayDoesn't matter where you go or what you do'Cause if I burn, so will you
When you sleep you'll feel my icy fingersCrawling down your backAnd when you wake you'll find me right beside youWaiting to attackAnd when you walk I will be right behind youQuickening my stepsAnd when you try to shut me outI will be laughing in your head
Oh, I'll be thereMaybe I'm afraid, but still I swearYou could take my life with conscience clearBut you should still hear that
If I burn, you will seeThe fire in your mind when you sleepAnd if I rise up in smoke around your eyesYou'll know it's meAnd the rain won't wash awayThe ashes underneath your nails todayDoesn't matter where you go or what you do'Cause if I burn, so will you
There are two sides to every story... except for this one!
It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never overYou can break meDeath can take meBut it's never overIt's not over 'til it's over, and it's never overYou can break meDeath can take meBut it's never over
