Burning

Tell me what you’re thinking won’t you give me a clue.
‘Cause this gap is getting wider between me and you.
You fly towards the darkness like a moth to the flame,
But we all feel the heat, yeah we all feel the pain.

[Chorus]
And the fire keeps burning, burning, all around,
And the people yearning, yearning for what’s lost to be found.

Drunk in your ignorance your egos roar,
As you bury all sense beneath the floor.
Is it fear that makes you say the world ain’t round?
Is that why you’re trying to pull your own house down?

[Chorus]

I used to think that human beings were essentially good,
If you saw others drowning well you’d do what you could,
But if they don’t look like you, you don’t give damn,
And when the truth hits home you think it’s all a scam.

[Chorus]

Knowledge is forsaken for a wealth of a few.
As they lie to me and they poison you.
The veneer’s slipped off, it’s blown open wide
Hate feeds hate as it squirms and writhes.

[Chorus]
