The Kerosene Letter - Asleep in the Fire Lyrics

Just let go, his heart's so cold
There's no way to bring him back
His choice alone condemned his soul
Now we live with the consequence
The world goes black
By ten years old he was all alone
No one gave a damn for him
He lived his life out on the streets
He barely kept himself alive with no sympathy
Let us sleep now and let the fire grow
Remember just how beautiful we look when we burn
Let us sleep and let the fire burn
Right through us all
He's watched you all come and go
You couldn't even crack a smile
Turned up your nose
His tattered clothes
He hasn't felt warmth in quite a while
Gnashes teeth at the lives you lead
You will never know his pain
He hates the way you all complain
You're all the same
You should be so damn ashamed
Let us sleep now and let the fire grow
Remember just how beautiful we look when we burn
Let us sleep and let the fire burn
Right through us all
Let us sleep now and let the fire grow
Remember just how beautiful we look when we burn
Let us sleep and let the fire burn
Right through us all
You're never gonna be anything anything
(Burn burn)
(Just let me burn)
You never gave me anything anything
(Burn burn)
(Oh we all burn)
You're never gonna be anything anything
(Burn burn)
(Just let me burn)
You never gave me anything
