Song Lyrics

And In The End It Will Burn You Up

Band: Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons

Album: Into the Lovely

This is your secret, yours to do what you will. Promise to covet and keep it, or share it with all of the world. Should you choose to hold it, it will glow like an ember inside. Light can escape from your eyes, fires are hard to disguise. And in the end it will burn you up. It will burn you. This is your happiness baby, yours to do what you will. Keep all of the joy in your heart or share it with all of the world. Should you choose to let it out, the risk is it might not return. Passed on like salt at the table, maybe this is or isn't your turn. And in the end it will burn you up. It will burn you. It will burn away, it all burns away, it all burns in time and you will rise up from the ashes. This is your sorrow baby, yours to do what you will. Something you share with your shadow or spill it all over the world. But if you choose to keep it in, it might not get out again. A sadness that's left on its own, spreads from your heart and into your bones. And in the end it will burn you up. It will burn you. It will burn away, it all burns away, it all burns in time and you will rise up from the ashes. This is your love baby, yours to do what you will. Locked in a box in your heart or share it with all of the world. But if you choose to let it out, it is no longer yours to keep. Maybe your heart will be broken, maybe you'll find some peace. And in the end it will burn you up. It will burn you. This is your heaven and hell. This is your laughter and joy. This is your pain and frustration. Foundations you build and destroy. This is your hate and forgiveness. This is your place in the sun. this is the life you created. The burning has just begun. And in the end it will burn you up. It will burn you. It will burn away, it all burns away, it all burns in time and you will rise up from the ashes
