Book Burning Lyrics by Common Sage

It Lives and It Breathes

2021

[Verse 1]
It's hard to keep running away from
The fires I leave behind that cloud the air
Please sit here and wait for the morning
And watch me disappear again

[Chorus]
Can you hear me from way up there?
Can you see i'm trying to move on?

[Verse 2]
It's too late to mend relations
And I'll make the same mistakes I made before
The sun is slowly falling, so light a match to last the night

[Chorus]
Can you hear me from way up there?
Can you see i'm trying to hold on?
I know they'll take me away from here
(And before I go)
I'll burn all that i know out in the backyard

[Chorus]
(So when I go)
Can you hear me from way up there?
(Just so I know)
Can you see i'm trying to move on?
(So when I go)
I know they'll take me away from here
(Just so I know and before I go)
I'll burn all that i know out in the backyard
