Burning - Wild Beasts

You pull my fingers out the dirt

You pluck me wriggling from the world

I’m saved

You cast me up into the wind

You shuck my body from its skin

I’m saved

Fire licking at the walls

You drag me burning across the coals

I’m ashamed

Lying fallen on some stair

Clutching at the empty air

I’m awake

I see you walk to the room

Do the thing I couldn’t do

I’m afraid

My burning footprints on the floor

Things I don’t need anymore

I’ll wait

I’ll wait

I’ll wait
