You Want To See Us Burn Lyrics

All the years I placed blame
Put a crown on my head
I spent days pointing out what my mind was reading

No one will ever tell me why
Cause we live the same lie
Unexcused, so we turn, kill ourselves

Let go
Gotta pretend I don't know
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past
Hold on
Fake an inspiration
Retrace
All the lies you misplaced

Now I know that I'm fucked
Cause I'm not protected
I realize I create walls until I feel a purpose

No one can ever tell me why
Cause we live the same lie
Self create misdirection without shame

Let go
Gotta pretend I don't know
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past
Hold on
Fake an inspiration
Retrace
All the lies you misplaced

I can't explain the way it feels when your heart stops
Everything I thought would set me free was just bullshit
I sold myself
I can't breathe

Let go
Gotta pretend I don't know
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past
Hold on
To fake inspiration
Retrace
All the lies you misplaced

Let go
Gotta pretend I don't know
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past
Hold on

All the years I placed blame 
Put a crown on my head 
I spent days pointing out what my mind was reading

No one will ever tell me why 
Cause we live the same lie 
Unexcused, so we turn, kill ourselves

Let go 
Gotta pretend I don't know 
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past 
Hold on
Fake an inspiration 
Retrace 
All the lies you misplaced

Now I know that I'm fucked 
Cause I'm not protected 
I realize I create walls until I feel a purpose

No one can ever tell me why 
Cause we live the same lie 
Self create misdirection without shame

Let go 
Gotta pretend I don't know 
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past 
Hold on
Fake an inspiration 
Retrace 
All the lies you misplaced

I can't explain the way it feels when your heart stops 
Everything I thought would set me free was just bullshit 
I sold myself 
I can't breathe

Let go 
Gotta pretend I don't know 
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past 
Hold on
To fake inspiration 
Retrace 
All the lies you misplaced

Let go 
Gotta pretend I don't know 
I look back
I'm pulling mistakes from the past 
Hold on

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.
