I dropped that note in a fire Watch my words burn into ashes Let the smoke roll on my skin And my thoughts go out in fashion Oh ill just walk on by Hope that you don't mind Start keepin' my change in a jar Dark red paint on the walls And if you wanna know what I'm thinking now Count all the times that I blink and how I'm writing the letters on my sleeve But I still want to talk About the things you always said And I'll still always walk To the beat of the drum in my head 'Cause I don't wanna lose their faces Words melt down to empty phrases Trying not to find my shelter God it's getting hard to tell her I don't wanna lose their faces Words melt down to empty phrases Trying not to find my shelter God it's getting hard to tell her I'll douse my things In kerosene I'll light the way For things to be 'Cause I don't wanna lose their faces Words melt down to empty phrases Trying not to find my shelter God it's getting hard to tell her I don't wanna lose their faces Words melt down to empty phrases Trying not to find my shelter God it's getting hard to tell her I'll douse my things In kerosene Just watch the flame grow What's there to stay for I'll light the way For things to be Just watch the flames grow What's there to stay for
