- Burning Down Lyrics / with translationsa place that i could go to
no longer welcomes me
outcasted and rejected
i thought that it was different
now i know that isn't true
you wear it on your sleeve,
i wear it in my heart
you were so quick to finish
i have yet to start
something far too perfect
is never what it seems
the reality i wanted
lives only in my dreams
it's so sad that your life
revolves around a fad
you're burning down your future while you're building up your past
THE UNITY THEY SOLD TO ME WAS AN UGLY f*ckING LIE
THEY'VE CAST ME OUT AND I'VE SEEN THE TRUTH
CUZ I OPENED UP MY EYES
a fantasy i lived in
has now crashed into the ground
now nothing looks the same
it's all been turned around
i thought that i could life it and change the way things are
but i lived that way for years
and nothing's changed so far
it took so long to build it
this home i thought i'd found
but where there's smoke there's fire
and now it's burning down
no longer welcomes me
outcasted and rejected
i thought that it was different
now i know that isn't true
you wear it on your sleeve,
i wear it in my heart
you were so quick to finish
i have yet to start
something far too perfect
is never what it seems
the reality i wanted
lives only in my dreams
it's so sad that your life
revolves around a fad
you're burning down your future while you're building up your past
THE UNITY THEY SOLD TO ME WAS AN UGLY f*ckING LIE
CUZ I OPENED UP MY EYES
a fantasy i lived in
has now crashed into the ground
now nothing looks the same
it's all been turned around
i thought that i could life it and change the way things are
but i lived that way for years
and nothing's changed so far
it took so long to build it
this home i thought i'd found
but where there's smoke there's fire
and now it's burning down
