lyrics

BURN AFTER READING
Come read my letters, consume my words,
I’ll make them better than anything you’ve heard,
All you have to do is burn them after reading.

Come round and see the walls I’ve built,
My borrowed cat, the blood I’ve spilt,
Then all that’s left to do is burn it as you’re leaving.

The shifting boundary’s getting loose…
That circles ’round our world of two…

My empty book, your broken frame,
The wine is warm, the song remains the same,
But everything feels different when you’re yearning.

I’ll dress in black, you’ll dress in white,
You’ll be the day, I’ll be the night,
And we’ll be side by side in the gentle light of morning.

The shifting boundary’s getting loose…
That circles round our world of two…

High-five the moon, embrace the dark,
Untie your hair, unlock your heart,
Everything unravels without warning.

Come read my letters, consume my words,
I’ll make them better than anything you’ve heard,
All you have to do is burn them after reading,
burn them after reading,
burn them after reading.
