Burned

from A November Life by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

Desolate
What a wasteland
All the green has gone away

Toxic
In our openness
Our hate has "saved the day"

Step outside into the gravel now
Get off your throne
Put your hand into the fire now

Why can't we get burned?
If we will heal why shouldn’t we get burned?
Why should we be the only ones who learned?

Cross-hairs
Focus on her head
She never had a chance

Come down
Float back to the ground
The jury closed today

Step outside into the gravel now
Get off your throne
Put your hand into the fire now

Why can't we get burned?
If we will heal why shouldn’t we get burned?
Why should we be the only ones who learned?

How can you judge her for
The things you’ve done?
