lyrics

I’ve done my best to fight it off, though it haunts me everyday. These little voices tend to never go away.
I sit and take the time, though it’s hurting me to see, that scary truth that’s staring back at me.

And I counted all the ways and the options I should take, but I feel like all my efforts are a waste.
And I wish I knew the truth, cause I’d start to make a change. But that time has passed and I’m to blame.

I’m feeling lost. I know it’s true.
I’m just a kid who’s not responsible.
But if I knew that then, don’t you think I’d make amends? But as I grow I see you’ll never learn.
It’s kind of funny as I watch it burn. And I wish that things could change, but just like you…I’m through.

I feel like such a fool.

The fields start to catch the flame as I watch it burn today. The sky is full with soot and everything is grey.
I smell it in the air, the heat surrounding me, as I burn it down for all to see.

So I’m holding on to what I knew.
I feel cheated when I think of you.
Do you know the things I’d sacrifice back then?
But as I grow I see you’ll never learn.
It’s kind of funny as I watch it burn. And I wish that things could change, but just like you…I’m through.

And I feel like such a fool.
Naïve and confused, cheated and abused.
But now I see the truth in all the words you said to me.
And it’s bitter sweet…these burning memories.
Blinded by my ignorance and youth…deceived.
Though as foolish as I was…I’ve learned to find some inner peace.

As I contemplate these choices that we made that fateful day. I’d rather burn the past to find anew in hopes to make a change. I’ve been careless with my actions, I know there’s no one left to blame.
I guess I’ll find the rest, upon her breast as they take me to my grave.

I guess I’ll burn today.
