Slow Burn Treason Lyrics

Wake up and you're next to nothing
But the weight of the world is on your side
Most days you don't even notice
But that's a lie

All you want is her eyes on you
All you need is one hand deep inside
Outside the wind she's screaming
The windows shake and you cry

But who's gonna feel you
And who's gonna need you

And in between there's always someone
They don't get you but you reach and smile
And maybe this slow burn treason
Is better than the crash of a quick rise

So brave the cold and close your mouth
I'll bite your tongue if you'll bite mine
Yeah lay your head on my legs babe
Everything is fine except the time

But who's gonna feel you
And who's gonna need you
Who's gonna feel you
Who's gonna need you
Who's gonna want you
Who's gonna hold you
Who's gonna love you
Who's gonna tease you
Who

Wake up and you're next to nothing
But the weight of the world is on your side
And most days you don't even notice
But that's a lie

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.
