Just Gonna Stand There And Watch Me Burn Lyrics นิยาย & เรื่องราว

My fingers lingered in the air above her skin, never quite touching. In the quiet, I looked down at myself—the ruin of my clothes, and then back at her, my voice a whisper only the night could keep. “For you, I’ll burn down the world a thousand times.” I said calmly, ignoring the raging thunder inside me. "Just don’t ever stop looking at me like I’m still worth saving.” My hands unbuttoned my shirt slowly before I stripped myself up by looking at her. I would love to ruin her beautifully because only I can.

And as the sky's falling down It crashed into this lonely town And with that shadow upon the ground I hear my people screaming out I see fire Inside the mountain I see fire Burning the trees I see fire Hollering souls And I see fire Blood in the breeze I see fire Oh you know I saw the city burning I see fire Feel the heat upon my skin yeah Now I see fire Oh oh oh oh oh oh And I see fire burn auburn up on the mountain side

Now that darkness has consumed you, You dare to run to me. I tried to hold on but you tore me apart, Your selfish ways have shattered my heart. I thought we belonged together but I was wrong. You left me in the dark But I won't let your absence dim my light. Chorus I will shine like a star, burning bright. I don't need you by my side. I will rise above and bask in my own pride. I will soar high, reaching for the sky. And leave you in the past, saying goodbye. So watch me shine like a star.

Until I heard the scratch of the couch as they stood, heard their footsteps moving away, heard the house settle into that false peace that always followed these storms. Only when I was alone in my room did I stop. I stood in front of the mirror and watched my own face change. I watched the practiced sadness drain away like water. Felt my hands clench into fists and opened my mouth and screamed—long and jagged and animalistic—into my pillow until there was nothing left but the raw sound of it. They're going to burn. Every single one of them. I would build the fire brick by brick, and they'd walk into it believing it was warmth.

If I so much as breathed wrong, they’d tear me apart. But I wasn’t going to run. Not yet. I would stay. I would wait. And when the time was right… I would burn this place to the ground.

I reached out, my heavy hand wrapping gently around her chin, forcing her to look up and meet my freezing black glare. "Listen to me, Janessa," I murmured, my gravelly voice serious as I locked eyes with her. "There's always a chance you'll go back into the damn cage if you don't burn it to the fucking ground. And that's what we'll be doing tonight. Burning it the fuck up." She swallowed hard, her breathing coming in short, shallow hitches as she stared at me.

I was flung forcefully to the floor, and my ears were ringing. "Ella is destined to be the next Madre, Cynthia! How could you, with your meager standing, lay a hand on her?" Oliver's eyes were practically brimming with malice. Mom snapped her head toward me, and her eyes were blazing with hatred. "How utterly wicked of you, Cynthia! You're no longer our daughter or a member of this family from now on!" I spat out a mouthful of blood and said with a sneer, "I'd like that! I hope that Mr. Bryant can serve as a witness to this, as I'm equally eager to be rid of any connection to you all!"

He stood frozen to the spot, looking as pale as a sheet. "So." I took a deep breath and looked squarely into his eyes. "We'll have to end things here." I turned around and walked into the crowd without looking back. Behind me, David began crying loudly, sounding devastated. "Mom! Mom!" My heart jolted violently, but I did not stop walking. There were some things that could not be compensated for. There were some cracks that could never be mended. I had just learned how to love myself. Later, I found out that Shane had moved to Bretia with David.

Or maybe I’m protecting what’s left of myself. As the flame dies, I whisper to the night, “Let them watch. Let them think I don’t know. When they come for me again” I pause, a thin smirk curving my lips. “I’ll make them regret it.”

I didn’t move. I just stood there… Burning. Fuming. Wrecked. Who the hell was this “rightful heir”?
