take away the essential things

and leave whats left behind

listen to all the stories

listen to what they've said

over and over again they tell you

how it used to be but

it hasn't been that way since



like a note left on the table

like an image in your head

always think about something else

but its something else instead

teachers preaching what they never understand

its all the same

its all the way

we're different then

some things never did you wrong

never satisfy unless

you're burning up



some days are not like the rest of them

these are days we can not explain

why we believe in such incriminating mud

to cover up our mistakes

we will never be alone in your defense

we will never live and die at your expense

we will always leave the door open for anyone



like a note left on the table

like an image in your head

but its something else instead

its all the way

we're different then

some things never did you wrong

never satisfy unless

you're burning up
