Burn Lyrics by Sevendust

Alpha

2007

[Verse 1]
Rescue me
From this mistake I'm in, who knows the path I'll land on?
I must be dreamin'
In the end, nothing but solitary moments coming down on me

[Chorus]
Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me
So I can see again, so I can live again
Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me
So I can see again, so I can live again
Wash it away, release me

[Verse 2]
Never free
I don't know what I want but I know I don't want this
A sleep of content, I'm here again
And always intent on believing

[Chorus]
Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me
So I can see again, so I can live again
I pray the day will come when you will see what you took from me
From where it all began, the way I used to be
Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me
So I can see again, so I can live again
I pray the day will come when you will see what you took from me
From where it all began, the way I used to be
Wash it away, release me

[Bridge]
I can't take this anymore
I lied to myself, remembering the things you
Things you said to me
No answer for help, empty promises were all I heard
Never meant to be
Destroy me, control me
Don't hold me, release me from your hands
Give me back the life you took

[Chorus]
And wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me
So I can see again, so I can live again
I pray the day will come when you will see what you took from me
From where it all began, the way I used to be
Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me
So I can see again, so I can live again
I pray the day will come when you will see what you took from me
From where it all began, the way I used to be

[Outro]
I often wonder how it came to this again
I often wonder why it had to end
I often wonder how it came to this again
I often wonder why it had to end
Forgive you, just the same
I often wonder how it came to this again
Never meant to be
I often wonder why it had to end
Forgive you, all the same
I often wonder how it came to this again
Never meant to be
I often wonder why it had to end
Because of what you took from me
