Burn After Reading


Come read my letters
Consume my words
I'll make them better
Than everything you've heard
All you have to do is burn them after reading

Come round and see
The walls I've built
My borrowed cap
The blood I've spilled
And all that's left to do is burn it as you're leaving

The shifting boundaries getting loose
It 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 dress in white
You'll be the day
And I'll be the night
We'll be side by side in the gentle light of morning

The shifting boundaries getting loose
It circles round our world of two

High five the moon
Embrace the dark
Untie your hair
Unlock your heart
With everything unravelled
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
