You bury yourself You're working on the line just doing time Sometimes you try to say to yourself If things could fall in line you're doing fine Well don't we try to comfort ourselves All waiting for a sign to ease our minds One day you get to hating yourself for living out a lie, for wasting all your time I know beneath our skin lies the open hearted I'll go where we began Back before we started Hey, I'll be burning bright today I'll take the time to live and learn how to bleed Hey, watch me smile and light the flames It takes some fire to burn and learn how to be You're raising yourself Built upon the words your father spoke to keep you from the grips of all hell And now it's forced upon the ones you know Let's see you try to comfort yourself with the branches of your crooked family tree - cause they'll break beneath the weight of empty words I'll shake it off of myself All the crooked lies dragging me through hell Tear it off of myself If you hear these words maybe then you'll know Hey, I'll be burning bright today
