After Burn Lyrics by Rivilin

2017

[Chorus]
The only warmth I feel now is from this cigarette
My souls been sold and they want to cash the check
She fills my pockets with debt, she cleans out what I have left
Pick the scraps from my bones, watch me sink all alone
The only warmth I feel now is from this cigarette
My souls been sold and they want to cash the check
There's fiber in your lungs, cough it up you'll come undone
Do you feel me, do you feel it
[Verse 1]
8am eyes snap open, the rock hits the window, it cracks and I fall in
Everything is a day dream, so what does that make me
Just a kid in school who didn't know much didn't know enough, didn't know love
Locked in the locker and it's a kick in the guts, best friends are pretend when they see your eyes shut
Cus I'm trapped in the deep end
Cus I'm trapped and you pretend
Like you try to make amends, like were friends
Back in the school yard, but you didn't know me then
Put my teeth to the curb and try this again?
Cus you know that I'd catch you
But ya know that I'd fall
Back to fatigue back to this stress
You know I'm living in this mess, I'm not blessed
With a nickname like tired, who am I to blame
So stressed in my body with a mind I can't tame
I was in year eight, just a freshmen
No friends, it's the mental scars that don't mend
Had a mother in hospital, a brother with a knife
Trying to believe that he wouldn't take his life
See depressions funny that way
Some days you never wanna wake
Could it be, could it be, were tearing each other apart
Pull the heart strings and take me back to the start
[Chorus]
The only warmth I feel now is from this cigarette
My souls been sold and they want to cash the check
She fills my pockets with debt, she cleans out what I have left
Pick the scraps from my bones, watch me sink all alone
The only warmth I feel now is from this cigarette
My souls been sold and they want to cash the check
There's fiber in your lungs, cough it up you'll come undone
Do you feel me, do you feel it
[Verse 2]
2013, new school, new friends
Didn't know them back then, so why do they try to pretend
It's the words that they say to me, the words that they feel
Do another shot, do another pill, till you don't know what's real, and your forced to steal
2015, a backroom kingdom, stuck in the deep end
Best friend overdosed, lost in a comatose
Haven't seen him in a few years
So you wanna come and say that you're sorry
That's fine I'll break your neck and throw you off the quarry
You can drown in your worry
Do you know what it takes to do what i do
Of course you do
Do you know what it means when I say we're through
I'm getting sick of you
Cus it doesn't change, it stays the same, back to the old ways, back to the new fade
So what do you say, what do you mean
That it feels like I'm living in dreams
Never wake up, no I never breathe, never wake up, no I never leave
Is this what you mean?
[Chorus]
The only warmth I feel now is from this cigarette
My souls been sold and they want to cash the check
She fills my pockets with debt, she cleans out what I have left
Pick the scraps from my bones, watch me sink all alone
The only warmth I feel now is from this cigarette
My souls been sold and they want to cash the check
There's fiber in your lungs, cough it up you'll come undone
Do you feel me, do you feel it
[Outro]
Could it be, could it be, were tearing each other apart, back to the start
