Lyrics
The Burning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And the system tells us how to react
And how to silence the tongue that teaches us
To fight back-to lose track
Putting limits on our ideas and telling
Us when to attack
And as I strive to defy this black reflection
I test the waters caring little for this section
Of simple minds we come uninspired
Peacekeeper, streetsweeper
Livid lonely eyes, how
You lie, they die
Freedom is just an afterthought
I'm distraught, I'm looking down the ass-end of sawed-off
And I believe in freewill, the right to kill
The right to dance on the bones in the minefields
My mind's running at ninety miles an hour
I'm feeling subtle and my mouth is growing sour
You won't be happy 'till everybody dies
I see the world through livid lonely eyes, how
You lie, they die
We're not crazy
We've got blood on our hands
And if I tell you how to feel
Could you be alone
'Cause I know it burns
Now what would you say if I said I'd blow up the people
Killing the city
I am the god of all plastic energy
And I'm gonna jump track try no to laugh back
Wondering why you silly ass people
How you never know when to stop
And I sweat to the ticking of the clock
We're not crazy
We've got blood on our hands
And if I tell you how to feel
Could you be alone
'Cause I know it burns
We can watch as the sun dies then we may
Realize
