 Listen to the original song for the rhythm):
 First Verse:
 There's a lightning  storm each  and every night
 Crashing inside  you like  motorbikes
 We toss  and turn, sleep  so loud
 Grind the teeth  in our
Our  empty mouths  (are empty...)
 Second Verse:
 There's a forest  fire burning  bright
 Spreading quickly  towards our  last rites
 Nowhere  to run, pointless  to hide
 Just lay there  and scream, pretending  to try
 Pretending...
 Intending to burn,  pretending to fight  it
Everyone  learns  faster on fire
Things  took a turn,  lost all desire
 You live  and you burn
 You live  and you burn
 Third Verse:
 This impending  doom is left  deep inside
 And it's haunting  you each  and every night
 Like starving  wolves drowning  sheep
 We close  our eyes, pretending  to sleep
 Descending...
 Intending to burn,  pretending to fight  it
Everyone  learns  faster on fire
Things  took a turn,  lost all desire
 You live  and you burn
 You live  and...
 Like hell  we are anxiously  waiting
 Like hell  burning silently  strong
 Somehow  we fell down  by the wayside
 And somehow  this hell is home
 Intending to burn,  pretending to fight  it
Everyone  learns  faster on fire
Things  took a turn,  lost all desire
 You live  and you burn
 You live  and...
 Like hell  we are anxiously  waiting
 Like hell  burning silently  strong
 Somehow  we fell down  by the wayside
 And somehow  this hell is home
 Right now,  this hell is my  home
