Burnt Out Shell of Bliss Lyrics by Headswim

Despite Yourself

1997

[Verse 1]
Your garden's sweet promise of bloom
Left you crying, crying for the sun
When it happens it's like nothing else
When it happens it's like nothing new
[Chorus]
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Feel like a mess
You're so gone
[Verse 2]
Woke up to the morning rain
Head clamped in cold steel
Clock the clock, it's lying there
Reminds me what hour to feel
[Chorus]
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Feel like a mess
[Bridge]
Did you want to be sure?
All the feelings remain
Can't you picture my thoughts?
Hey
I'll hang them in emotional frames
On my door
[Chorus]
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out now, you're so gone
Burnt out shell of bliss
Burnt out shell of bliss
