Ready to Burn - Rykarda Parasol

I’ve never known what you’ve known:

You’ve known love before.

I’ve only come last

In my scattered past

Dust and ash on the floor

Dust and ash on the floor

Try not to mislead.

Is there logic in our thoughts?

I know you’ll weigh the pros and cons

Am I the one you want?

It’s better to believe that you’re someone —

Than no one at all.

Sure, they love the singer,

But not the song.

They always get her words wrong.

The demons hear the exterior

They’ll try and hold her down.

They’ve never meant much to me

The way you do now.

It’s no use to stay

I know what they’ll ask for

I’m ready now to burn

Dust and ash on the floor

Dust and ash on the floor

I’m ready now to burn

To be dust and ash

Haven’t you heard?

Strangers never ask:

«Am I the one you want?

Am I the one you want?»

No heart is safe (that's the risk you take)

Be courageous and crazed (you played it safe, I was not afraid to lose)

Never known what you had known:

You’ve had love before.

I’ve only come last

In my scattered past

Dust and ash on the floor
