Burning Wire to Ground (version 2)

Verse

Pliers on the cord where it starts to hum

Fingers numb before I touch the gun

Bare concrete and the smoke off the floor

Every spark makes me walk that one step more

Pre-Chorus

Amber on my cheekbone, cold as ice

This is what I need, this is what I think

Let it burn like a wire cut loose

Feel it rise where every last thing chose

Chorus

Burning wire to ground

Cut me free, leave nothing found

Ripping sound through the steel and stone

Burning wire to home

Verse

Floor beneath my feet starts to shake

Every drop of sweat that my body makes

Screws come loose where the walls used to bend

Nothing holds me like this open end

Pre-Chorus

Amber on my cheekbone, cold as ice

This is what I need, this is what I think

Let it burn like a wire cut loose

Feel it rise where every last thing chose

Chorus

Burning wire to ground

Cut me free, leave nothing found

Ripping sound through the steel and stone

Burning wire to home

Bridge

No more walls to climb, no more bars to hold

Nothing left that I don't want to lose

Every spark is an edge I fold

Right into this fire, into these shoes

Outro

Burning wire to ground

Burning wire to home
