Incendiary.
Verse
We saw our death notes written clearly
In the twin lights of our burning hearts.
We chose to turn our faces,
And we no longer spoke of ghosts after that.
Pre-chorus
And my heart burnt crimson
But you just turned to stone
I placed flowers at your feet
And sat you on a throne.
Chorus.
I knew we were born to die.
You saw it written and were petrified.
And I can't tell you that I'm not scared.
I'll be damned if I don't set fire to your heart again.
Verse 2
Flowers will wilt and adoration fades
But fire burns a cavity where love was once displayed.
And even solemn statues will slowly turn to dirt
But one thing stands certain
They can not get hurt.
Pre-chorus 2
As I went up in ashes I watched your frozen face.
You craved demise in silence
I was lacking grace.
Chorus 2
But I knew we were born to die
And you knew it does not hurt to be petrified.
I would like to say I am not scared
But I'm damned because I'm..
Bridge
The incendiary
The incendiary.
Oooooh Ooohhh
And I'll set my heart in stone
Twin statues we will be.
Final chorus
And I know we were born to die
Together we will stand petrified.
We both know that I'm so fucking scared
And I'm damned by the fires I set.

its beatiful
Thank youu! You can find the recorded version on my wall if you wish!
This is really good and I could totally see this song as one of the top ten. You describe the sadness of love truly well. Sorry it seems like everyone is posting things related to love, I guess it's the winter cold. Anyway, this was absolutely amazing.
It flowed smoothly and made complete sense to me. Keep writing lyricals/songs.
This is really beautiful. I love it. I really want to listen to it.
The part where it goes into the bridge seems really awkward, but I'm not a musician so I can't see what it's supposed to be. If I listened to it, it would probably be just fine.
I do think it's weird that the first pre-chorus is longer than the second. But that's about it.
Favorite line:
"Flowers will wilt and adoration fades
But fire burns a cavity where love was once displayed."
Keep up the good work! Can't wait to hear this!
Thank you so much! I'm going to record this and once I have I will write a message on your wall.
My breath is caught in throat, my throat is bitter from unshed tears, this is painfully beautiful.
How did you come up with this? I would want to hear you sing this, the lyrics are beautiful.
Is there an interlude some where because it feels sort of incomplete without one. I think you did a great job anyway, no need for the "fucking" at the end though, it made that line a little awkward and distracts the clear view of the song. i still think it's a beautiful piece! keep writing!
Thank you thank you thank you. I'm not sure myself how I came up with it but I did and I'm very proud of it. I'm recording it in a bit so once I do I will leave a message on your wall. I think it will make more sense to you when you once you hear it.
I would love that!
