"Burn A Picture" lyrics

"Burn A Picture"

You can throw your conscience away
Just to land a good part in the play
Maybe there's a reason
That you feel so empty

Broken bottles and junk on the floor
It's hard to notice when your eye's on the score
If you burn a picture
To obtain the ashes
A bit of wind could blow what's left away

You can leave your heart at the door
You can waste all your time wanting more
You can play a victim
To a broken mirror

You can sell yourself for a dime
Step on anyone who borrows your time
You can be a hero
To your own reflection
You can feed your head with empty praise

If you burn a picture
To obtain the ashes
You resign to throw yourself away

There's another, there's another light
There's another, there's another light
There's another, there's another light
There's another, there's another light
There's another, there's another light...
