Everything Burns
Ben Moody feat. Anastacia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone a stray
But she will sing

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns

Ooh, oh

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns

'Till everything burns, everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away (all fade away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams (watching it all fade away, ooh)

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning down lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away




(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away

Lyrics:
(Verse 1 - Anastacia)
She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing

(Chorus - Ben and Anastacia)
'Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
Burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Til everything burns
Ooh, oh

(Verse 2 - Ben Moody)
Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

(Chorus 2)
'Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
Burn it all down
As my anger reigns

(Interlude)
'Til everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away (All fade away)
Everyone screams (2x)
(Watching it all fade away)
Oooh, ooh

(Chorus 3)
('Til everything burns)
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this hate)
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Til everything burns
(Everything burns)

(Outro)
Watching it all fade away
(Oooh, ooh)
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
