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
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

You can break me
Death can take me
But it´s never over
