Built to Burn

[Verse 1]

If you need it, I'll build a cathedral in these hills

I'll write you a sermon where holy communion was whiskey and pills

A jigsaw confession, indecent act of contrition

Whatever the mess, we'll make the best of it

Cold-blooded angels fly closer to the sun

Sugar from strangers is sweeter than none

[Chorus]

We'll build a world

And burn it down

Everything is pretty

When we burn it to the ground

We'll build a world

And burn it down

Everything is pretty

When we burn it to the ground

We're built to burn

[Verse 2]

If it's fire you desire

I'll hire an unholy choir

Sing you through the rings of Hell

Hot-blooded demons with Heaven on their minds

Drunk on the dreams of unspeakable crimes

[Chorus]

We'll build a world

And burn it down

Everything is pretty

When we burn it to the ground

We'll build a world

And burn it down

Everything is pretty

When we burn it to the ground

We're built to burn

[Verse 3]

No matter how long

No matter how long it takes

We'll make a glorious disaster

No matter how long

No matter how long it takes

We'll set our pace to Ever After

[Chorus]

We'll build a world

And burn it down

Everything is pretty

When we burn it to the ground

We'll build a world

And burn it down

Everything is pretty

When we burn it to the ground

We're built to burn
