[Verse 1]
I find myself darling, all messed up
The phone’s gone silent, and they’ve hung up
My love is fading so far away
And they said that all I can do is pray

[Chorus]
But I would burn down this city
To keep you from the cold
And I would chase back the shadows
That are slowly taking hold
I would run to the mountain
And scream into the storm
And push it back down forever
So hold on

[Verse 2]
The miles inch by on idle tides
Each second cuts like a thousand knives
I’m living lifetimes in every hour
And growing famished on my willpower

[Chorus]
And I would burn down this city
To keep you from the cold
And I would chase back the shadows
That are slowly taking hold
I would run to the mountain
And scream into the storm
And push it back down forever
So hold on
[Verse 3]
So pray for me and I'll grow stronger by the mile
I'll run a thousand years and never tire
Just turn your face to the sky
Call out my name
And I will burn across the night like I'm on fire
Now through infirmary doors I’ve burst
Each face is haggard, each glance is cursed
And I see those monsters won’t set you free
Well wait til they get a load of me

[Chorus]
'Cause I would burn down this city
To keep you from the cold
And I would chase back the shadows
That are slowly taking hold
I would run to the mountain
And scream into the storm
And push it back down forever
So hold on
