Burning Down Alaska

Trophies (feat. Michael Lawler)

Burning Down Alaska


So here we are on the ground again
This love was lost the day it began

Ready to get hurt with our hearts on our sleeves
We had something to believe

Cherishing seeds of ingenouos hope
Beware of what you feed

Until the day I found you my fire burned out
A thousand suns extinguished
Dead in doubt
I never meant to let go
Hard to keep it alive
I gave it all but it's so
Hard to keep it alive

The stars are falling tonight
With heaven's tears our fire has died

Alive, alive - why is it so
Hard to keep it alive

Come pick me up, let me feel again
This is not where it's supposed to end

A hole in our chests
Where a heart should beat
Empty vessel for a lifeless soul

Scratches and scars
No more blood to bleed
Only trophies we can show
