hey
are you still awake?
it's 3 am
and im sitting on my bathroom carpet
too tired to sleep
listening to the crickets outside the window
and smelling the smoke waft in
and missing you
can we just talk
just once, like we used to?
can you tell me all things you would never say
at 3 in the afternoon?

hey, the power went out today
the grid couldn't take the heat
I walked down the street barefoot
and got welts on the bottom of my feet
and all the windows were dark and empty
it made me think of you and me

why won't you let me in
why won't you tell me your true name?
Baby I would love you forever
through the sweetness and the pain
but you left me alone
in this land with no rain
smell the burnt sugar
of love turned to hate

hey, why does the world have to be so wide
everyone I've loved has left me behind
I was kidding myself thinking
things would be different this time
you'd think I'd learn to stay away from lightning
but I find myself running outside
with a mason jar reaching towards the sky
woke up in a hospital room
with burnt sugar in my eyes
and maybe if I loved you less then
I would hate you less tonight

why won't you let me in
why won't you tell me your true name?
Baby I would love you forever
through the sweetness and the pain
but you left me alone
in this land with no rain
smell the burnt sugar
of loved turned to hate

my hand on the burners
sugar sizzles under the weight of my tears
when love turns to hate
and sweet turns to sour
this is our darkest hour
haunted by the smell of burnt sugar
look up and see the bloody sky
that's gonna leave a scar
foolish to think we were special
burnt sugar fumes rise from my heart

and It's too damn bad that all the tears I wept
couldn't put out the wildfires
simmering under my skin
and boiling in my blood
how come I'm drowning in
an ocean I used to love?
Ive got a silent type of anger
and you never learned to shut up

so fine, don't let me in
don't let me speak your name
I will curse you forever
until my dying day
taste the burnt sugar
of loved turned to hate

Burn it all
Burn it all
Burn it all
Burn it all
