Paroxysm Projekt - Burn

Lyrics:

I am digesting my own heart
Converting hydrogen into heavy,
Heavy regrets
I am a furnace of lonely geometry
Stuck in this grid,
Paying my cosmic debts.

​I see you down there,
You beautiful mineral
Spinning in your pocket,
So cool and so wet

Wearing your clouds
Like a gossamer shawl
The prettiest rock
That I haven’t burned yet.
​
I feel the tug
At the back of my neck
Gravity, gravity,
Sweet tragedy

I want to break
The leash of the orbit
I want to crash the party.
​
But if I kiss you,
The oceans will boil
If I hold you,
The forests turn into smoke

I am the star who destroys
What is touched
And darling,
This distance is a terrible joke.

I shine, I shine, I shine
Just to make sure
You can see me weep light.
​
I watch the little bugs
Crawling on your skin
Building their cities of comic sand

They point their telescopes up
At my fever
They give me a name
I don’t understand.

​You are so solid,
You are so heavy
I am just stone and hysteria,
Waiting to collapse

I want to fall
Like a rock in your river
I want to dissolve
In your frozen oceans.
​
Thermodynamics say no.
Astrophysics say stop.
The Goldilocks zone is a cage,
A prison, a cell.
I am too hot.
I am too hot.

Because if I kiss you,
The oceans will boil
If I hold you,
The atmosphere turns into ash

I love you
From ninety-five million miles
Waiting for the day
That the universe crashes.
I shine, I shine, I shine...
​
Spin on, little blue thing.
Keep your water.
Keep your green.

I will stay here and burn.
I will stay here and burn.
I’ll be your nightlight.
I’ll be your sunstroke.
Burn.

I am digesting my own heart
Converting hydrogen into heavy,
Heavy regrets

Stuck in this grid,
Paying my cosmic debts.

I want to crash the party.
