It Can All Go Up in Flames

I would let the world burn

If it meant I could see you one last time

I could let the skies collapse 

if I could press pause on time 

 

watch the oceans rise and drown the stars 

let the cities fall in bloody wars

 if it only meant I could hold your hand 

one last time 

 

call it weakness 

madness 

condemnation wrapped in longing 

I don't care 

love was never clean 

 

so let the world burn 

and let me burn with it 

if you’re on the other side 

it's worth every second

    there are flowers brushed
