Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Burn This Guitar

Won't you burn this guitar

Stop all the sorrows

Silence my voice from singing

And set my soul's desires on overdrive

So they just disintegrate from spinning

Cause I have made a huge mistake out here on my own

I'm a soldier in the quicksand

And I'm gasping for air

But if I just stop struggling

Maybe you could find me

You my love my great escape

So pull me out of here

Pull me out of myself

Take me home with you sit me down

And tell me to just shut up

Tell me stories all night long about yourself

Cause I wanna know everything about you

Cause I'm sick of myself

All of my hopes and glories

Consumed with my ego but still unable to say no

Yeah but I'm still moving forward

Though I have no destination

Yeah wherever I end up I pretend that is where I wanted

To go

It's like cassidy and kerouac

Neal Cassidy I am

All messed up by my existence

Yeah and why the hell I am

Do I deserve this

No I don't think so

So would you do me a favor baby

And burn this guitar

So pull me out of here

Pull me out of myself

Take me home with you sit me down

And tell me to just shut up

Tell me stories all night long about yourself

Cause I wanna know everything about you

Baby everything about you

My great escape

Then you say the point is

That there ain't no point at all

And there is no destination

Cause we're all just on our way

Yeah but maybe the only hope I have for my ego

Is to let my guitar stay right here in it's way

Yeah maybe the only hope I have for my ego

Is to let my guitar stay right in it's way

So pull me out of here

Pull me out of myself
