And Send Fire

And Send Fire - Immortal Bird

I struggle to abide

Time gnaws at my neck

Shudders down my crooked spine

Traces circles with her acid tongue

You are the weight I carry in my lungs

Drawing in air

Coughing up crimson dust

There is dirt under my nails and blood in my teeth

Every day when I wake is a fight from the grave

Buried alive by ghosts each night

Beaten awake by the sunlight

I am glad there is no eternity

I sleep in the hope that shadows will find me

All I want is quiet

A place to wait it out

Until the demise of the earth in volcanic ash

Or blankets of ice

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

Burn it all down
