Burning Inferno

Verse

Cherry ice cracks against my molars

Streetlight buzzing like a hive of wire

City rooftop, tar still soft beneath us

Nineteen and we don't feel the fire

Chain-link fence torn open at the corner

Sneakers squeak on concrete gone to steam

Sirens fading three blocks to the harbor

We just laugh and vanish like a dream

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the asphalt breathing?

Pulse behind my teeth won't slow

Something's climbing, something's leaving

Tell me you won't let me go

Chorus

We're a burning inferno

Skin like gasoline and gold

Young and reckless, burning inferno

Ashes taste like twenty years old

Sparks fly off my shoulder

Nothing left that we can hold

Burn it down, burn it slower

We're a burning inferno

Verse

Ferris wheel stalls out at the top now

City glowing orange like a coal

Your hand shaking, mine is shaking harder

Neon spelling secrets we can't hold

Vending machine hums a broken static

Fireflies collapse against the glass

We keep sprinting through the empty parking

Trying to outrun how fast time passes

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the asphalt breathing?

Pulse behind my teeth won't slow

Something's climbing, something's leaving

Tell me you won't let me go

Chorus

We're a burning inferno

Skin like gasoline and gold

Young and reckless, burning inferno

Ashes taste like twenty years old

Sparks fly off my shoulder

Nothing left that we can hold

Burn it down, burn it slower

We're a burning inferno

Bridge

Maybe we don't make it out unbroken

Maybe that was never why we came

Every summer leaves a scar it's chosen

I don't want the cold, I want the flame

Hold my wrist until the sirens hear us

Let the whole horizon learn our name

Chorus

We're a burning inferno

Skin like gasoline and gold

Young and reckless, burning inferno

Ashes taste like twenty years old

Sparks fly off my shoulder

Nothing left that we can hold

Burn it down, burn it slower

We're a burning inferno
