When You Burn Too Fast Lyrics - Brave Saint Saturn

If the throttle is pulled 

Back to burn through the fuel 

And the mix is just right 

But the speed is too cruel 

Then even the strongest 

Will slowly burn into ashes 

In the atmosphere 

When you burn too fast 

If you give it too much gas 

Wave goodbye to it all 

Oh how the mighty fall 

Oh how the truth may slip 

Tied to the breaking mast 

When you burn too fast 

Oh, you'll pay it in blood 

That kerosene fuels the evil flame 

Where they've forgotten your name 

And you'll never last 

And you'll die very young 

When you burn too fast 

And the promises, 

They may or may not have made 

Are just the needles sticking into your veins 

Pumping all of their sick lies into you 

Until you're stupid enough 

To look the other way 

When you burn too fast 

When you walk that plank 

When the stench gets rank 

When their knuckles dig so deep in your back 

You just turn the crank 

It's when they bury you 

They never cared for you 

Just that you burn too fast 

When they've bled you dry 

And they cast you aside 

Then they'll put out their hands to be friends 

Like they never lied 

When the last light glides 

And you wave goodbye.
