If I Burn lyrics

[Emily, Ghosts:]

I could beg a thousand times

I could explain, I could use rhymes

And rhythms meant to catch your eye

But I know you won't see

I could cry a thousand tears

I could appease your secret fears

But the louder that I scream

The harder your machines close over me

But I don't care

Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear

You could take my life with conscience clear

But you should still hear that

If I burn, you will see

The fire in your mind when you sleep

And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes

You'll know it's me

And the rain won't wash away

The ashes underneath your nails today

Doesn't matter where you go or what you do

'Cause if I burn, so will you

I could bargain but I'd lose

You'll sell the parts that you don't use

Yes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me free

I could threaten you with Hell

Or I could promise not to tell

But the softer I become

The harder your machines close over me

But I don't care

Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear

You could take my life with conscience clear

But you should hear that

If I burn, you will see

The fire in your mind when you sleep

And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes

You'll know it's me

And the rain won't wash away

The ashes underneath your nails today

Doesn't matter where you go or what you do

'Cause if I burn, so will you

When you sleep you'll feel my icy fingers

Crawling down your back

And when you wake you'll find me right beside you

Waiting to attack

And when you walk I will be right behind you

Quickening my steps

And when you try to shut me out

I will be laughing in your head

Oh, I'll be there

Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear

You could take my life with conscience clear

But you should still hear that

If I burn, you will see

The fire in your mind when you sleep

And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes

You'll know it's me

And the rain won't wash away

The ashes underneath your nails today

Doesn't matter where you go or what you do

'Cause if I burn, so will you

There are two sides to every story... except for this one!

It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never over

You can break me

Death can take me

But it's never over

It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never over

You can break me

Death can take me

But it's never over
