I’d burn alive to keep you warm,
When you’re alone.
Shiver under blankets in the basement,
Where our secrets sleep.
You pour the liquor on the staircase, girl.
Pass the flask and close your eyes.

Are you grieving for,
Are you grieving for what we’ve become?
Are you running from,
Are you running from that room?

We set the evidence on fire.
We light cigarettes and chase out old regrets.
Are you grieving for,
Are you grieving for,
What are you grieving for tonight?
I smell the sulfur on her skin.
Breathe in.

I'd burn alive to keep you warm.

Yesterday will be the end of you and I.
You and I.

Yesterday will be the end.
Yesterday will be the end of shoulders where,
Yesterday will be the end of shoulders where, we rest our head.

Now we grieve for tomorrow goes on without us.
Now we breathe for no one else.
We breathe for no one.
We breathe for no one.

Everything is broken slowly sinking under waiting for tomorrow
Waiting for the grave.
Everything is broken slowly sinking under waiting for tomorrow
Waiting for the grave.
Everything is broken slowly sinking under waiting for tomorrow
Waiting for the grave to tell me she is lonely.
Open up and hold me slowly feel my body become one and only.
Death is just an excuse to forget you.

Now we run from ourselves.
Hope lies not in the mirror.
Now we run from ourselves.
Hope lies not in the mirror.

I’d burn alive for you.
I’d burn alive for you.
I’d burn alive for you.
I’d burn.

I’d burn alive for you.
I’d burn alive for you.
I’d burn alive for you.
I’d burn alive.

    General Comment:it's not so much of a love story, more of a love gone wrong, and tried to make right kind of thing."I’d burn alive to keep you warm,
    When you’re alone.
    Shiver under blankets in the basement,
    Where our secrets sleep."
    it shows there was a past and the "wrongs" of the relationship are somewhat concealed and feelings of regret are present , hence the whole "shiver" thing.
    "You pour the liquor on the staircase, girl.
    Pass the flask and close your eyes."basically breaks down to i'll take care of this, just close your eyes, drink to numb the destruction, pour the rest out to add to the fire, that he want's her not to see. going along with the whole devastating part of the relationship "Are you grieving for,
    Are you grieving for what we’ve become?" this shows agnst and wanting to burn old regrets, start something new. "We set the evidence on fire.
    We light cigarettes and chase out old regrets."= we got rid of it, let's move to the next phase , basically. "Are you grieving for,
    What are you grieving for tonight?
    I smell the sulfur on her skin.
    Breathe in."= she can't quite let all of this burn away.
    "Yesterday will be the end of you and I." a last chance has been given. "Now we grieve for tomorrow goes on without us.
    Now we breathe for no one else.
    We breathe for no one.
    We breathe for no one." no other chance but seperation, last chance was given and regret engulfed in flame. " Everything is broken slowly sinking under waiting for tomorrow
    Waiting for the grave to tell me she is lonely.
    Open up and hold me slowly feel my body become one and only.
    Death is just an excuse to forget you.

    Now we run from ourselves.
    Hope lies not in the mirror.
    Now we run from ourselves.
    Hope lies not in the mirror.

    I’d burn alive for you." he could end it all, including his life, but has gained realization from the experience.

    basically, he gave a bitch a crucial chance, after the fucked up bad, was torn apart from it, had suicidal or self destructive thoughts, and realized he can go on without her.

    General Comment:The most remarkable thing about the vocalist is that when he screams, he screams in notes, not just A-Melodic screams like most bands.

    You can really hear it on the transition of this song too.


    Amazing song.
