The Burn Down

from Things Gonna Break by Adrian Niles

/

lyrics

Today came in like a monster
Stole my heart from out of me
High noon scorned me like a lover
That willl never again love another
Fried fish stench in the kitchen
Dirty dishes on the counter
I've resigned I let it all go
Sought shelter in the shadows

Chorus
Don't go out lone rider there's a struggle worth the fight
And I ain't gonna burn it all down tonight

Well there's ice on the cut-away
And the roads a twisted fate
The sky's a rusted steel color
Or the dirty blood on a feather
Some dreams I don't remember
Any hope campaigns 'll kill
Leave a message on the table
And I'll tear it up later

Chorus
Don't go out lone rider there's a struggle worth the fight
And I ain't gonna burn it all down tonight
You can miss what you should have caught and then blame it on me
But I ain't gonna burn it all down tonight
