  • Wake, wake, wake just a little
    Skin and bones, oh, so brittle
    Clean, clean, clean my friend
    Just to get all dirty again

    Burn, burn, burn a little fire
    Right in the eye of a loose lipped liar
    Back, back, back a little higher
    Rolling and clinching hanging from a wire

    Burn, burn, burn, burn it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Break break, break, break it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Burn, burn, burn, burn it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Break, break, break, break it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)

    Please, please, please on your knees
    Beg for just a little relief
    Bleed, bleed, bleed I see
    When you choke whisper and wheeze

    Cut, cut, cut just a little
    Cutter kid head full of riddles
    Yeah, yeah, yeah she looks around
    She's always lost, she won't be found

    Burn, burn, burn, burn it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Break, break, break, break it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Burn, burn, burn, burn it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Break, break, break, break it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)

    It's so blurry drink it in
    Close your eyes and let it all begin
    Now it's finally over
    Blow a kiss and say goodbye

    Burn, burn, burn, burn it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Break, break, break, break it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Burn, burn, burn, burn it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh)
    Break, break, break, break it down again
    (Whoa, whoa-oh) Writer/s: Bob Marlette, Jonathan Edward Radtke, Richard Michael Patrick
