I Always Let You Burn Me to the Ground - John Moreland

We never talked about survival

I don’t know what good talking would’ve done

My long lost revival

Withered up in the adolescent sun

Lost, let down

I always let you burn me to the ground

I am unwound

I always let you burn me to the ground

Well, you look like a welcome disaster

Like the only one who knows the naked truth

Show me how to kill my master

Hold me down long enough to grow these roots

Let the rain bear down

I always let you burn me to the ground

A king is crowned

I always let you burn me to the ground

Lost, let down

I always let you burn me to the ground

I am unwound

I always let you burn me to the ground
