Burn Eternal Lyrics by Handguns

When the Light Burns Out

2020

[Verse 1]
Born in the later September heat
The years started catching up to me
You never thought I'd make it through 2016
Sleepless nights and endless days
Placing in my own death race
You know I’m craving failure
I'm craving failure's taste
[Verse 2]
I drove past my old high school tonight
And thought about all the times that we would risk our lives
Didn’t care if we survived
Now the changing seasons pass me by
I can feel the bags under my eyes
But they won't drag me down
Unless I'm six feet underground
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not, I'm not afraid anymore of the demons lingering inside my closet door
[Chorus]
Out of all that I've done, and all that I've seen
I finally know what's important to me
So if I die tonight, bury me at sea
Engulf me in flames, let me burn eternally
[Verse 3]
Wearing my mistakes embedded on my sleeves
You’re gonna have to fucking behead me to fucking make me leave
I won’t give up easily
Douse my house in kerosene
Reaper take my hand and lead me to your guillotine
[Pre-Chorus]
As the, as the mob cheers and screams, don't cry and don’t fucking pray for me
[Chorus]
Out of all that I've done, and all that I've seen
I finally know what's important to me
So if I die tonight, bury me at sea
Engulf me in flames, let me burn eternally
[Bridge]
When the light burns out that led me home
I’ll still have somewhere left to go
When the weight of the world's too much to hold
I'll grab the reaper by the throat
And make sure that son of a bitch will choke
If it wasn't for you, I'd be asleep by now
If it wasn't for you, I'd throw in the towel
I won't kick the chair and hang right from my throat
Without a call for help or a suicide note
Coroner's report would read “Death Unknown”
You'll find an empty house cause nobody is home
[Chorus]
Out of all that I've done, and all that I've seen
I finally know what's important to me
So if I die tonight, bury me at sea
Engulf me in flames, let me burn eternally
