Burn

[Intro] [Verse 1] Match head. Black flag. Hands full of gasoline. We kissed the spark like it could make us clean. Boots in the street. Smoke in the teeth. We tore the banner down and called it victory. Heat on our faces. Ash in our hair. For one holy second… we thought we were there. [Pre-Chorus] We said we’d never be like them — Then we started choosing who to spare. [Chorus] Burn the banner! Choke on the smoke! We were never free — we were only broke! Burn that fucking sign! Watch it twist and black! We burned what held us… NOW THERE’S NOTHING LEFT! [Verse 2] We said we’d never build another cage — Then we started choosing who belonged inside. We said this time we’d stay awake — Then we started sleeping with the same old lie. We said a lot of shit with fire in our throats While the same old hunger learned to wear our clothes. [Chorus] Burn the banner! Choke on the smoke! We were never free — we were only broke! Burn that fucking sign! Watch it twist and black! We burned what held us… NOW WE’RE BUILDING IT BACK! [Breakdown – Half-Time] We burned the banner. We burned the name. We burned the god damn lie. We burned the shame. But the hunger stayed. Yeah, the hunger stayed. The hunger stayed… and learned to wear a different face. [Final Chorus – Chaotic Acceleration] Burn the banner! Choke on the smoke! We were never free — we were only broke! Burn the mother fucking sign! Watch it twist and black! We burned what held us… NOW WE’RE BUILDING IT BACK! Burn the banner! Burn the sign! Burn the banner! Burn it black! [Outro – The Ash Settles] We burned the banner… Then we started missing… what it used to hide. ... fuck.
