Burning Alive

make my mind stop churning, what do I smell burning?
my body's on fire, my hearts gonna beat right outta my chest,
what makes me think this day will be different than the rest?
hear that whistle blow, it's the end of the game, or is it a train?
either way it's the end... it all ends the same.

baby i'm burning alive
i'm doing all i can, but it's all I can do to survive
i'm wasting away, tryin' to get the help I need,
but it always stands in my path, wills me to not succeed
doused me in gasoline and struck that match
watch me burning alive... now there's love, what a catch

shh don't say the things that run through your mind
because people just let you down time after time
put on the mask its what people wanna see
all people care about is to be drama-free
so bottle up the hurt, and swallow it down
put that smile on your face, never let 'em see you frown

baby i'm burning alive
i'm doing all i can, but it's all I can do to survive
i'm wasting away, tryin' to get the help I need,
but it always stands in my path, wills me to not succeed
doused me in gasoline and struck that match
watch me burning alive... now there's love, what a catch

put me out put me out
put me out my misery
burn it down burn it down
burn it down to the ground

cause baby i'm burning alive
this aint how i wanna survive
i'm gonna burn this down till there's nothing left of me
gonna burn this down, so tired of feeling empty

no longer empty
always gonna be full
but first i gotta burn this down
to start all over
