[Intro]
Flames in my chest, can't catch my breath
Been running so long, I forgot how to rest
They want soldiers who never sleep
But even warriors gotta retreat
[Verse 1]
Every protest sign weighs a ton now
Voice getting hoarse from screaming downtown
Burning myself to keep others warm
Till there's nothing left but a uniform
Of exhaustion, dark circles under my eyes
Living off coffee and beautiful lies
That we can keep fighting without taking breaks
Till our bodies and spirits eventually break
[Chorus]
This is the burnout, the flame eating itself
Can't save the world if I can't save myself
This is the burnout, watch me fade to black
Give everything forward, nothing coming back
(Nothing coming back)
[Verse 2]
Underground clubs and basement shows
Where revolutionaries decompose
Into sweat and static and distorted sound
While the system keeps spinning round and round
My fist's been raised so goddamn long
My arm's gone numb, but I act strong
Yasmine told me "slow down, breathe"
But passion's the only thing letting me see
[Bridge]
They say burn bright, burn fast, burn clean
But what's left when you've burned everything?
These ashes used to be me
These ashes used to be free
[Verse 3]
Fragments of chants stuck in my head
Mixed with voices of the walking dead
Activists running on empty tanks
Fighting the power until they blank
Out like stars in morning light
Too bright to see we're losing sight
Of why we started this shit at all
When passion becomes protocol
[Chorus]
This is the burnout, the flame eating itself
Can't save the world if I can't save myself
This is the burnout, watch me fade to black
Give everything forward, nothing coming back
[Outro]
Sometimes silence is resistance too
Sometimes healing is the rebel's move
Let the fire die just enough
To keep the ember, that's enough
(That's enough)
