Lyrics Let It Burn - Garrett Smith

You are my latest distraction
The main attraction, when I can't see the goal
Here it comes again to burn me
Or maybe turn me to giving up control
So if this doubt can serve a purpose
If I deserve this, could You give me a sign?
I promise I will not surrender
Until the end, or, at least until it's time
The only way I can continue is admitting what I lack
The only only way I can move forward is to take my three steps back

Sifting through the stages grieving
As if I'm leaving, or I'm already gone
If faith is all that's really left me
Can You correct me when I stop holding on
So let it die, here's my eulogy
For the myth of me, it's ready now to go
Accepting silence in the story
So for Your glory I'll just be still and know
The only thing that matters now is what I still have yet to learn
And if it takes a flame to purify the gold
Then set my heart and let it burn

Trying not to think about the close
Or any of those prideful words that we had sung the most
And if it dies will I be left with the Holy Ghost?
Or am I even close?

Just let it burn

"But I'm so sad"
"It's okay, buddy, we don't have to be happy all the time.
I still love you. Daddy gets sad sometimes, too."
"Yeah"

So if it burns the sins I call me
Let it befall me, I'm closer to the throne
Or if my guilt correctly dooms me
Or still consumes me, at least I'm not alone

"I love you, Linken Michael"
"I love you"
"Good night"
"Good night"
