There's no mistaking I'm not around But you're long gone, you're silver screen bound So I'll check the mail, look for a postcard But you're tied off since life's been hard And dreams have changed since you've been young And out of dozens you haven't found the one You packed your things and you made a move Got dreams to fulfill and things to prove Then you tell me the screen's covered in rust Thought you'd be ashes but you turned into dust The tan starts to fade and your blood starts to thin Pull out your hair and the shakes start to begin But just let me burn Just let me burn, let me burn Thanks again for all the concern Oh just let me burn We got lost inside the dessert And you said it was for war You got tired of the sand So you headed for the shore But just let me burn Just let me burn, let me burn Thanks again for all the concern Oh just let me burn
