Burn.Flicker.Die. Songtext
von American Aquarium

Dollar bill prescriptions in the bathroom stall
Red-headed women and alcohol
Say it ain′t so, say it ain't last call
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall
A whiskey on the rocks and Adderall

We′re no different than the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can, we put up a fight
Then we burn too long, we flicker and die

It's nights like these that the drugs don't work
It′s gettin′ in the way instead of pickin' me up
I wish my addictions didn′t mean so much
But we all can't be born with that kind of luck

You try, but you won′t fix what's wrong with me
Every night I′m my own worst enemy
I'll find a way to quit when they bury me
'Cause I can′t turn down the drinks when they′re free
No, you can't turn down when the drinks when they′re free


We're no different than the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can, we put up a fight
Then we burn too long, we flicker and die

Every girl in that bar looked like 1965
With her sailor tattoos and her drawn-out eyes
Every now then she still crosses my mind
And by every now and then, I mean most of the time
By every now and then, I mean all of the time

We′re no different than the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can, we put up a fight
Then we burn too long, we flicker and die

We're no different than the neon lights
When you turn us on we stay up all night
We do what we can, we put up a fight
Then we burn too long, we flicker and die


We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
We burn too long, we flicker and die
