Lyrics

[Intro]
| G#m | - | F# | E |
| G#m | - | F# |

[Verse 1]
E          G#m             F#                  E
 There's a lightning storm each and every night
           G#m      F#             E
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
   G#m            F#           E
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
          G#m          F#          E
Grind the teeth in our empty mouths
         G#m
Our empty

[Verse 2]
F#
E          G#m        F#              E
 There's a forest fire  burning bright
          G#m             F#             E
Spreading quickly towards our last rights
  G#m           F#               E
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
         G#m
Just lay there and scream,
   F#            E
pretending to try
          G#m
Pretending

[Chorus]
F#  E
  Intending to burn,
E                   G#m
 pretending to fight   it
 F#      E                G#m
Everyone learns faster on fire
      F#       E                G#m
Things  took a turn, lost all desire
         F#      E
You live and you burn
F#    G            G#m
  You live and you burn

[Verse 3]
F# E G#m F#
E       G#m             F#              E
 This impending doom is left deep inside
         G#m          F#                  E
And it's haunting you each and every night
     G#m             F#              E
Like starving wolves,  counting sheep
   G#m                F#              E
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
          G#m
Descending

[Chorus]
F#  E
  Intending to burn,
E                   G#m
 pretending to fight   it
 F#      E                G#m
Everyone learns faster on fire
      F#       E                G#m
Things  took a turn, lost all desire
         F#      E
You live and you burn
F#    G
  You live and..

[Bridge]
     G#m      B                E   F#
Like hell, we are anxiously waiting
     G#m      B            E     F#
Like hell burning silently strong
    G#m    B                   E   F#
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
                         F#
And somehow this hell is home

[Chorus]
      E                        G#m
As we burn, pretending to fight   it
 F#      E                G#m
Everyone learns faster on fire
      F#       E                G#m
Things  took a turn, lost all desire
         F#      E
You live and you burn
F#    G
  You live and..

[Bridge]
     G#m      B                E   F#
Like hell, we are anxiously waiting
     G#m      B            E     F#
Like hell burning silently strong
    G#m    B                   E   F#
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
        E                    F#
And somehow this hell is home
      E                   F#
Right now, this hell is my  home
