Burn Alive Lyrics
Wine is on your blouse
You think it's so romantic
But in reality
We're both just addicts
I am not the girl I set out to be
Let me make my grief a commodity
Do what I can to survive
There is candle wax melting in my veins
So I keep myself standing in your flames
Burn, burn me alive
I am at the stake
Petrol, my perfume
Bite marks on my back
I never could say no
You don't wanna hurt me
But I want you to
I'd break off my rib
To make another you
You made me bite my tongue
And now there's blood in my glass
Will you buy me a new one?
This is too good to last
I am not the girl I set out to be
Let me make my grief a commodity
Do what I can to survive
There is candle wax melting in my veins
So I keep myself standing in your flames
Burn, burn me alive
Burn me (I am not the girl I set out to be)
Alive (Let me make my grief a commodity)
Burn me alive (Do what I can to survive)
Burn me (There is candle wax melting in my veins)
Alive (So I keep myself standing in your flames)
Burn me (Burn me alive)
Burn, burn me alive
You think it's so romantic
But in reality
We're both just addicts
Let me make my grief a commodity
Do what I can to survive
There is candle wax melting in my veins
So I keep myself standing in your flames
Burn, burn me alive
Petrol, my perfume
Bite marks on my back
I never could say no
You don't wanna hurt me
But I want you to
I'd break off my rib
To make another you
And now there's blood in my glass
Will you buy me a new one?
This is too good to last
Let me make my grief a commodity
Do what I can to survive
There is candle wax melting in my veins
So I keep myself standing in your flames
Burn, burn me alive
Alive (Let me make my grief a commodity)
Burn me alive (Do what I can to survive)
Burn me (There is candle wax melting in my veins)
Alive (So I keep myself standing in your flames)
Burn me (Burn me alive)
Burn, burn me alive

Abigail Morris told Apple Music in 2024: "Lyrically, it always felt like a mission statement. I wrote it just after my father passed away, and it was the idea of, ‘Let me make my grief a commodity’—this kind of slightly sarcastic ‘I’m going to put my heart on the line and all my pain and everything for a buck.’ The idea of being ecstatic by being burned alive—by your pain and by your art and by your inspiration—in a kind of holy-fire way. What we’re here to do is be fully alive and committed to exorcising any demons, pain or joy."
