Mississippi Burning
More nightmaresSomeone wake me when they’re through
Stop my lovers ghost from trying to protrude
(You're burning, you’re burning)
It’s chaotic but I’ve got it Your letter scratched across my throat
Like some painter’s ink spilled to canvas
Soiling parts of me Cover up, cover up, all the things you’ve lost
I know this sucks but one day we’ll meet up I miss the softness of your sound
The taste of you left in my mouth
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Such sounds like stomachs stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red horizon in the south
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleed every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
Your shadow now lies against the moon
The skin I touched that once
Kissed has come unglued
(You're burning, you’re burning)
It’s chaotic but I’ve got it More screams than anyone should hear
The voice of you stabs in my chest
Forged and faithless
Cover up, cover up, all the things you’ve lost
I know this sucks but one day we’ll meet up I miss the softness of your sound
The taste of you left in my mouth
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Such sounds like stomachs stinging
I search out, but you cannot be found
A red horizon in the south
Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights bleed every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
Darling boy, lift your chin up for me now
For my vein’s are safe
And I am smiling looking down
I know you’re out of breath
You’re hit by the way I’ve left
Just hold me tight and true
For I’ll be waiting, waiting here for you
Turn down these lights, I won’t be found
This haunting stops right here and now
As permanent as eyes that fixed to me
I’m dying without you, so let it be Turn down these lights, I won’t be found
This haunting stops right here and now
As permanent as eyes that fixed to me
I’m dying without you, so let it be Is Mississippi done yet burning?
Most nights beat every feeling
I must get back to you somehow
I must get back to you
