Burn Lyrics

Burn! burn you got that, burn, burn -
Oh mother please inform me what keeps tearing you apart -
Did someone squeeze the life out of you and -
Has father been drinking nightly did he hurt you with his mouth -
This time I'm gonna make him think again -
Burn -
Days and nights take a turn -
Burn -
Days and nights take a turn -
It's taken a lifetime -
Please let me tell the story they had a fallen out -
This time she heard voices calling as -
Gaseoline fills the bedroom as father passes out and one match means the nightmares over -
Burn -
Days and nights take a turn -
It's taken a lifetime -
She sat down ans wrote a letter broken down and in distress she had to make things better -
So she decided to destroy the family -
Without a dought destroy the family, destroy the famil! -
Burn -
Days and nights take a turn -
It's taken a lifetime -
Burn -
Days and nights take a turn -
It's taken a lifetime -
Oh mother please inform me what keeps tearing you apart -
Did someone squeeze the life out of you and -
Has father been drinking nightly did he hurt you with his mouth -
This time I'm gonna make him think again -
Burn!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
