Burning In The Skies
Linkin Park甀 Lyrics

I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
I exploit the deceased and their memories to fuel my ambitions.

The blood of innocence burning in the skies
The unjust suffering of innocent victims weigh heavy on my conscience and creates chaos in the world.

I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
I have taken more than what I can handle and now I'm drowning in my own excess.

And poured it out in an ocean of debris
The aftermath of my actions has created destruction and chaos all around me.

Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke
I am engulfed in the consequences of my choices.

Of bridges I have burned
I have destroyed many important relationships and connections through foolish actions and decisions.

So don't apologize
I do not expect forgiveness or pity from others for my actions.

I'm losing what I don't deserve
I am experiencing consequences that exceed what I had expected or deserved.

We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
We were apprehensive and anxious when the impending danger loomed over us.

But you were lost in the beating of the storm
You were unaware and consumed by the chaos around you.

But in the end we were made to be apart
Our paths were never meant to be together and we were destined to go our separate ways.

In separate chambers of the human heart
We exist in different worlds, with different feelings and emotions, and can never fully understand each other.

It's in the blackened bones
The damage I have caused is long-lasting and irreversible.

The blame is mine alone
I am responsible for my actions and must accept the consequences that come along with them.

What I don't deserve, ooh woah
The consequences I am experiencing exceed what I believed I had deserved.
