Don't let it burn, it's the only thing I have The house is on fire, this just might be the end But it should live The burnt willow will feed the ashes, It will suffer , it won't mend We have lived, You - like them river, Me - like them stones, You've had your skin on my crumbling bones I've rolled along, You have taken me away from this place I belong Don't let it burn, this is all I have Let it live, like a memory, for I'm turning to sand. -Tariq

Don't let it burn, it's the only thing I have The house is on fire, this just might be the end But it should live The burnt willow will feed the ashes, It will suffer , it won't mend We have lived, You - like them river, Me - like them stones, You've had your skin on my crumbling bones I've rolled along, You have taken me away from this place I belong Don't let it burn, this is all I have Let it live, like a memory, for I'm turning to sand. -Tariq
