lyrics

I crossed your name off my list today
And as I washed the word away
It struck me that I’d cleaned the slate
And cut my ties with you

My skin is stained with the ink you spilled
My fingers still curved bent to your will
When the Earth takes back everything you built
The sun will smile and say

(Chorus)
Burn
And scatter before me
Scatter before me
For me

Sit still
And listen as the wind knocks down
The life that you had found
Life that you had found

Burn

I saw you trapped behind the clock
You know its hands will never stop
They’ll spin you until you drop
Its faces turned away

As I look straight up I can tell the clouds
Are circling around this hallowed ground
But I know there’s nothing to be found
No gift to be received

Burn
And scatter before me
Scatter before me
For me

Sit still
And listen as the wind knocks down
The life that you had found
Life that you had found

Burn

How would I know if I was wrong
That you were watching all along
Will it be clear if I come back
Or will I still be in darkness
Darkness

Burn
And scatter before me
Scatter before me
For me

Sit still
And listen as the wind knocks down
The life that you had found
Life that you had found
Burn
