Burning Down

A place that I could go to,

no longer welcomes me,

outcasted and rejected,

I never thought I'd leave.

No longer is it sacred,

it's tainted through and through,

I thought that it was differen,

now I know that isn't true...

You wear on your sleeve,

I wear it in my heart,

you were so quick to finish,

I have yet to start...

Something far to perfect,

is never what it seems,

the reality I wanted,

lives only in my dreams.

It's so sad that your life revolves around a fad,

you're burning down your future while you build up your past...

The unity they sold to me, was an ugly f*cking lie.

They've cast me out, and I've seen the truth 'cos I opened my eyes...

A fatasty I lived in has now crashed back to the ground,

now nothing looks the same, it's all been turned around.

I thought that I could live it and change the was things are,

but I lived that way for years, and nothing's changed so far.

It took so long to build it, this home I thought I'd found,

but where there's smoke there's fire, and now it's burning down.
