BURNING TREE PROJECT LYRICS for TIME AND COLOR EP
DEAR VALENTINE
Take a picture of the scars inside
Am I alright?
Cuz you've infected every thought of mine
Dear valentine
I hear you say…
In my head it won't it won't go away
I hear you say…
Goodbye
The lights are shining closer
Telling me its over
Goodbye
The picture of you leaving
Complicates my breathing
Now, I'm the one you left behind
And that's fine
Cuz you have nowhere left to hide this time
Sweet valentine
Shine a spot light to catch you walking away
Leave me in the dark like a stain in the shade
Tell me that you care just to throw it away
This is how you tear me down
HERO
Say something to slow her hands around my neck
Just cut off her arms
Throw my pills into the well we drink
infect the words that we say
can you hear me now?
why can't you hear me?
Save the day
Come take this all away
Come on now
My hearts on the floor
What are you waiting for
Come on now
Indecisive thoughts running through my veins
Come wash them away
Slowly screaming calling out your name
Come save the day
If we find what we're missing
The space that needs filling
The strings' still embracing my neck
We'll hold up each but look for another
To see if our words will connect
What are you waiting for?
HELLO
Hello, hello, hello
So he said goodbye
Kind of like that night you said the same thing on my phone
I know, I know, I know
That you love him still
You just hate yourself because he left you like a kill
I still waited here
You were singing "no I'll be fine"
I still waited here
Always for you dear
Keep me moving
I'll be waiting
Keep me loving you
You said he's sorry
But you're still buried
Beneath the trees that grow to cover you
If he can't find you
Then I'll still guide you
Beneath the trees that grow to cover you
And uncover you
I know, I know, I know
That you're back with him
The cycle starts again
Now that you've left me like a kill
FREE
Taken away with everything you believe
Watch what you say
They're closer than before
On my own
Crushing every word
Some day you'll get what you deserve
Oh my God, oh my God
The walls are closing in
The lines begin to follow hollow veins beneath my skin
Glorious, Glorious
Your words beneath my lungs
Consume the wounds that carry my own cross to find your Son
Losing yourself with every breath that you breathe
Watch what you do
They're knocking at your door
One by one
Repeating what you heard
Someday you'll get what you deserve
Be still love
They're right above you
Find another way
Find another way
Find another away
Find another away
Free to breathe again
You're free to move again
You're free to live again
You're free to move
Free to move again
Free to live again
PUT YOUR HELMET ON
You and I will never feel the same, the same
I don't want to hear you say my name, my name
Not that you would care
Just go away, just go away
You were never there
Just go away, just go away
On and on we'll fill the empty space with clay
Carving all our simpleness away, away
On and on the flies catch fire
Wrapped within the rusted wire
Bled until the wings recede
This is what you do to me
LESS OF ME MORE OF YOU
Tell me what's real
Tell me to feel inside
And we'll find what's wrong with me tonight
The incisions were made
Stitches were sewn and now
We don't have to feel like we're alone
I'm dying over you
And it's aching…
I'm dying over you
And it's breaking…
Say to them, this is the day
We'll say your name
Remembering every little thing
Say to them, this is the way
We'll feel the same
Remembering all your suffering
Savor the words
That fly through the wires inside
And you'll guide the lonely lost tonight
If we capture the thorns that bleed in our hearts
We'll find everything that we've left so far behind
I'm dying over you
Teach me to love again
I'm dying over you
Breathe in my life again
I'm dying over you
Less of me, more of you
I'm dying over you
Fill me with living truth
I'm dying over you
I'm dying to love again
I'm dying over you
I'm dying to live again
I'm dying over you
Less of me more of you
Teach me to live again
I'm dying to live again
Less of me, more
Less of me, more
Less of me, more of you
Less of me, more
Less of me, more of you
I'm dying over you
I'm dying to love again
I'm dying over you
I'm dying to live again
I'm dying over you
Less of me, more of you
