Burn Lyrics

I build my house somewhere
On memories of you
A hollow field I've played
And wondering where I've gone

In lines made perfect
One chance to run away
Angel wings, marmalade
So I'm covering 'til my death

Lord although I burn, I am so cold
Though you've sent me off alone in the wind,
You have let me go

Call out every nation, call out every heart
Part of my own sense of what is right
Part of my own sense of where it went wrong

In lines made perfect
One chance to run away
Angel wings, marmalade
So I'm covering 'til my death

Everytime I am safe
Go and find the fire
Every tear, every choice, every breath - you have let it go
Because when misty skies won't last
Only what is left is what you show

Call out every nation, call out every heart
Part of my own sense of what is right
Part of my own sense of where it went wrong
Part of my own sense of what is right
Part of my own sense of where it went wrong

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.

@somethingon I'm kinda freaking out that a song could be this amazing and magical. There are many, but THIS one. Wow.
