If i burn


[Emily, Ghosts:]
I could beg a thousand times
I could explain, I could use rhymes
And rhythms meant to catch your eye
But I know you won't see
I could cry a thousand tears
I could appease your secret fears
But the louder that I scream
The harder your machines close over me

But I don't care
Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear
You could take my life with conscience clear
But you should still hear that

If I burn, you will see
The fire in your mind when you sleep
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes
You'll know it's me
And the rain won't wash away
The ashes underneath your nails today
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
'Cause if I burn, so will you

I could bargain but I'd lose
You'll sell the parts that you don't use
Yes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me free
I could threaten you with Hell
Or I could promise not to tell
But the softer I became
The harder your machines close over me

But I don't care
Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear
You could take my life with conscience clear
But you should hear that

If I burn, you will see
The fire in your mind when you sleep
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes
You'll know it's me
And the rain won't wash away
The ashes underneath your nails today
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
'Cause if I burn, so will you

When you sleep you'll feel my icy fingers
Crawling down your back
And when you wake you'll find me right beside you
Waiting to attack
And when you walk I will be right behind you
Quickening my steps
And when you try to shut me out
I will be laughing in your head

Oh, I'll be there
Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear
You could take my life with conscience clear
But you should still hear that

If I burn, you will see
The fire in your mind when you sleep
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes
You'll know it's me
And the rain won't wash away
The ashes underneath your nails today
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
'Cause if I burn, so will you

There are two sides to every story... except for this one!

It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never over
You can break me
Death can take me
But it's never over
It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never over
You can break me
Death can take me
But it's never over

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics IF I BURN of EMILIE AUTUMN is also present in the album Fight like a girl (2012)
