Burning Down Slowly Lyrics

Life is so unusual

We don't know quite where we're going

Or how we should begin

And all those dreams were chasing after

Seem so far when we're awake

It doesn't make much sense

We try so hard

And barely make it out alive

Barely make it out alive

Oh, oh, oh

We laugh it off

And we say we're doin fine

We sure know how to lie

Do you ever feel like you're

Burning down, burning down

Burning down slowly

The flames just kicked you out

And you're running round, running round

Feeling so lonely

You're lying on the ground

Just thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout

Keeping it low key

Take stress out the bottle

Ashes will follow

Or you'll be burning down slowly

Life has lost all innocence

We try to make it while we're broken

Cuz we don't know how to mend

Oh, oh, oh

And bitter words soon follow after

Cuz it didn't go as planned

Now the smoke is rolling in

Oh, oh

We try so hard

And barely make it out alive

(We'll make it out alive)

Barely make it out alive

Oh, oh, oh

We laugh it off

And we say we're doing fine

We sure know how to lie

Do you ever feel like you're

Burning down, burning down

Burning down slowly

The flames just kicked you out

And you're running round, running round

Feeling so lonely

You're lying on the ground

Just thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout

Keeping it low key

Take stress out the bottle

Ashes will follow

Or you'll be burning down slowly

The cycle goes round and round

Do what we want when no one's around

Nothing in our bank accounts

But we can deal with the ups and downs

The cycle goes round and round

Do what we want when no one's around

Won't let the flame go out

So we can shed a little light

In the darkest places

Do you ever feel like you're

Burning down, burning down

Burning down slowly

The flames just kicked you out

And you're running round, running round

Feeling so lonely

You're lying on the ground

Just thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout

Keeping it low key

Take stress out the bottle

Ashes will follow

Or you'll be burning down slowly

You'll be burning, burning down

You'll be burning down slowly

You'll be burning, burning down

You'll be burning down slowly

You're lying on the ground

Just thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout

Keeping it low key

Take stress out the bottle

Ashes will follow

Or you'll be burning down slowly
