lyrics

Lying awake, eyes closed
Thinking how to get out of this
Escape, don't move
Standing at the edge of abyss

Stay still, he'll know
Just let the thoughts slip away
You, hear the sigh won't
Let him know I'm awake

You say, I cause the anger
You say, I should surrender
You say, I'm the pretender
You say, I should be tender
You say, I should be grateful
You say, I'm the dissenter
You say, don't you remember
I say, don't you want to be free

Give up the fight
Who knows who's right
Just let it go now
Breathe, and don't lose sight
Who knows who's right
Just let it go now

Lying so close, don't touch
Feelings getting far too intense
Don't know, can't think
How to get out of this

Don't sigh, or cry
Just keep it it all inside
Too tired, to fight
Don't let it start up again

You say, I should surrender
You say, I cause the anger
You say, I'm the dissenter
You say, I should be grateful
You say, I should be tender
You say, I'm the pretender
You say, I make you call me a bitch
I say, don't you want to be free

Give up the fight
Who knows who's right
Just let it go now

Breathe, and don't lose sight
Who knows who's right
Just let it go now

You say, I cause the anger
You say, I should surrender
You say, I'm the pretender
You say, I should be tender
You say, I should be grateful
You say, I'm the dissenter
You say, don't you remember
I say, don't you wanna be (free)
You say, I cause the anger
You say, I should surrender
You say, I'm the pretender
You say, I'm the dissenter
You say, I should be grateful
You say, I'm the pretender
You say, don't you remember
You say, I make you call me a bitch

about

Burning Paper image

Burning Paper Trondheim, Norway

Writer and recording artist of instrumental rock based music.

Although often progressive in nature, I like to keep the tracks raw and not too polished. Each has a story in mind, which is told as the track progresses. Given the inspiration is usually some injustice (which is not hard to find!) or memory of regret, they tracks can meander between softer and more aggressive expression. ... more
