I'll burn down
With this cross that stands behind me
Stare at these words until they make some sense to me
I don't know why I even try
Give in and accept it
I don't know why I even care
Give in and they'll bleed me dry
I'll burn down with this cross that crucifies me
Down with this cross that drives the final nail Through my hand
I'll burn down with this cross those old convictions Once uttered but is that all they are
A handful of lies
A mouthful of words
Well I'll burn them all down
Then I'll burn down with them
I'll burn down this false pretense
These lies
Those words that drive me
That kill me
Give in and accept it
But I can't
Not now
I don't know why I even try
Give in and accept it
I don't know why I even care
Give in and they'll bleed me dry
I don't know why I even try
I don't know why I even care
I don't know why I don't just flow with the tide
But I can't
Not now
Not ever
The rise the fall
Well I'll fall trickling down the cascade
Well I'll fall
