Burn Days Lyrics

There were red eyes on the red eye
Old roads that took you to your home
Picked up a box of ashes
Faded pictures scattered on your floor
And I think about it all the time
Sometimes I just break down crying
Thinking how you were alone
This Burn Day has come and you are gone

Hoping to be your redemption
Not a song, but what you sought
Hoping it’s peace and forgiveness
Your blood it runs so damn dark

I worry about it everyday
The same blood flowing through my veins
And how we are suppose to carry on
This Burn Day has come

Wonder what you would have said if I had answered the phone
It would have been your last transmission
How was I to know
Sick of sorry excuses, couldn’t take it anymore
The pills only made it worst
The loneliness in your bones
You’re already gone
