Lyrics
You are like the pages of an empty magazine
it isn't good, it isn't bad, it doesn't matter, doesn't matter
And everything about you is a part of some routine
is it good? is it bad? does it matter? does it matter?
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
but you don't think I'll burn
You have all the symptoms of America's disease
that is mine, this is yours, it doesn't matter, doesn't matter
And everyone around you is trying to look tall on their knees
and every look, every trace, makes you sadder, makes you sadder
I'm on fire, tight rope wire
and I'm not coming down
And if you can't remember, let me know
I will not remind you, I will show
that there is not enough inside the air, the room, the world you're living in
bright enough to shine a light on me
Yesterday I tried to bring your life into my view
your pretty friends, your pretty clothes, all in tatters, all in tatters
But like the year in pictures your dimension's only two
you are glass, you are ice, you will shatter, you will shatter
Your king's men and your king's horses
they just stand around
And if you want to get down from the wall
let you're spirit dangle, let it fall
And all at once you'll fly so high the air, the room, the world you're living in
is bright enough to shine a light on me
You're on fire, you're on fire
but I don't think you'll burn
'Cause you are in your bottle, looking out
and you are not within me, you're without
But I believe your ship will break the glass and you will see another sun
bright enough to shine a light on me
