Aimee Mann - Burn It Out lyrics

Artist: Aimee Mann

album: Queens of the Summer Hotel


You know the secrets that live in fire

What is the promise that flames inspire?
Can you just burn it out?

Shadows and memories that won't stay put

Can you redact them with ash and soot?
Can you just burn it out?
Can you just burn it out?
So thoroughly, you'll never see
A trace of yourself in the spark
Can you just burn it out 'til it's dark?
Ghostly intruders who storm the moat

Black-booted looters lay knife to throat
Can you just burn that out?
♪
All of the shame that was yours to bear

Will it ignite like a signal flare?
Can you just burn it out?
Can you just burn it out?
So thoroughly, you'll never see
A person who once had a name
Can you just burn it out with a flame?
Spirits and specters that live in the sulfur streams
Find their redemption in charcoal dreams
Can you just burn it out?
So thoroughly, you'll never see
The trace of yourself in the coal
Can you just burn it out of your soul?
