The Burning Lyrics by David Near

Seeing Red

2019

[Verse 1]
Kill me, kill me any time, I need to die to feel alive
It isn't right, but I don't mind, It keeps me alive
Catatonic, scatter-brained, beyond the constant nagging pain
Within the burning weathered vein, the storm is brewing
Muzzled like the dog you're beating, broken ribs and eyes are bleeding All the demon's teeth are feasting, on my wretched soul
[Pre Chorus]
The burning. Catatonic
The burning. Symbiotic
The burning. Neurologic
The burning. Death narcotic
[Chorus]
Where we're going I don't know... don't wanna do this all again
We are the burning out of hope... don't wanna do this anymore
[Verse 2]
Will we, still be, hypnotized, even when magicians die
The fading light, exposes lies, witness the demise
Withering decomposition, blistering across incisions
Glistening ensconced in stitches, bury your minds
Brought you down to bended knee, I'll be damned if you go free
I hate the way you tend to be, you're fucking dead to me
[Pre Chorus]
The burning. Catatonic
The burning. Symbiotic
The burning. Neurologic
The burning. Death narcotic
[Chorus]
Where we're going I don't know... don't wanna do this all again
We are the burning out of hope... don't wanna do this anymore
[Bridge]
Close your eyes... don't you cry... hold on tight... and say goodbye
Catatonic, scatter-brained, beyond the constant nagging pain
Within the burning weathered vein, the storm is brewing
Muzzled like the dog you're beating, broken ribs and eyes are bleeding All the demon's teeth are feasting, on my wretched soul
[Chorus]
Where we're going I don't know... don't wanna do this all again
We are the burning out of hope... don't wanna do this anymore
[Outro]
The burning. Catatonic
The burning. Symbiotic
The burning. Neurologic
The burning. Death narcotic
