Let It Burn
Joanne Shaw Taylor Lyrics

DOWN TO THE WIRE,
At the last minute, when there is no more time to waste,

DOWN TO HIT OR BE HIT
It's a do-or-die situation where either you'll win or lose.

SPITTING OUT TRUTHES
Speaking the brutally honest reality,

LIKE FIRE FROM YOUR LIPS
Expressing these truths with passion,

DRAGGING THROUGH THE DIRT
Crawling through the mud and filth,

WITH BLOODSHOT EYES
With eyes red and tired due to continuous struggles,

THEN YOU SHOOT ANOTHER SMILE
Despite all the hardships and pain, you still smile,

LIKE A LIGHTENING STRIKE
Your smile is powerful, intense, and electrifying.

THIS OL' WORLD HAS HAD IT'S TURN
The world has already shown its true colors, and it's time for it to end.

I'LL LIGHT THE FIRE AND LET IT BURN
I'll let my fire burn and destroy everything in its path.

NO SENSE IN SEEKING SOLACE
It's pointless to look for comfort among deceivers and thieves.

AMONGST LIARS AND THIEVES
Among the people who lie and steal from you at every opportunity.

TRIED TO MAKE AMENDS
You tried to apologize and fix things,

BUT FOOLS ARE HARD TO PLEASE
But some people are never satisfied and always want something more.

I'D LOVE TO LEAVE YOU HOPE
I'd love to bring you hope for a better tomorrow,

BUT HOPES JUST A CHORE
But it's hard to hold on to hope when life constantly disappoints you.

ONE MORE SWEET EMOTION
Even if you give them one more emotion to feel,

YOU'LL ABUSE OR IGNORE
They'll either take advantage of it or dismiss it completely.

TICKING LIKE A TIME BOMB,
Like a bomb that counts down to its final explosion,

TRIGGER FINGER ON THE GUN
With a finger on the trigger of a gun,

HITTING LIKE A JACK HAMMER,
Striking with unrelenting force,

ALL TALK, NO ANSWERS
Talking without providing any real solutions.

THIS OL' WORLD HAS HAD IT'S TURN
The world has used up all of its chances,

I'LL LIGHT THE FIRE AND LET IT BURN
And so, I'll light the fire and let destruction take its course.
