Burning

Im living in a life of lies

This personal hell is burning at my skin

my eyes ripped out

i cannot see the truth.

You threw away my heart

with my letters and cards

but you dont understand

im standing here burning.



Just look a little closer

Read a little deeper

then you may see how i feel

(my heart burns for you)

Even my many tears

that run down my face

are boiling

from the fire within.
