Let It Burn

another song...

     I gaze upon the life I can only wish I knew. I gaze upon the memories and the lies I believed were you. I promised you forever but you dreamed of your escapes. From behind smoke screens, masks and mirrors you gave it all away. 

Please take away the memories and take away the pain.

Burn my heart to ashes if it'll always love in vain.

Please take away the pictures and everything I've learned, put it all in a box and let it f*****g burn...

Fabulous! Even the layout of this piece screams for my attention. The "f" word is so effective when carefully used. There's a time and place for it...however; it demands respect when put to use...offensive to some...but it's truly just a raw way of describing visceral pain. Nice work...must put this one to song!

[Lucifer Jones]

I am humbled... Thank you so much.

The first "f*****g it" was backwards...

Good song and rhythm... good content. Strong lyrics require a solid tune... I'ld like to hear it.

This is so powerful. Filled with pain and emotion. The repetition of lines is quite effective. great writing!
