Burning Son

I've listened to the things you people say

Letting all that love you hide

See the light of day

Open up and let it show

Make it plain for all to see

I guess I just don't think that way

Such ways are not for me

They're not for me

I guess I always knew I'd start a war

And lock my chances in with me,

Hang a rag outside that door

And if I had a mirror

I would point my mirrors to

Your ships and laugh just like a burning sun

But then that wind began to crawl

And I stumbled through the pages in the book

How did I

End up selling urchins to the sea?

Is it me?

Or was it just another day

When I rose and fell just like a burning sun?

I moved on without friends and family

For doing all that putting up

And pinning all that faith on me

One by one I let them down

Now they wonder why

They wonder how

I walk around just like a burning sun

How do I sing of all the empty pages

That it took?

When I feel,

I feel I'm selling urchins to the sea

Is it me,

Or was it just one hundred days?

So I rise and fall just like a burning son

So I rise and fall just like a burning son

Just like a burning son
