Burning Down

a place that i could go to
no longer welcomes me
outcasted and rejected
i thought that it was different
now i know that isn't true
you wear it on your sleeve,
i wear it in my heart
you were so quick to finish
i have yet to start
something far too perfect
is never what it seems
the reality i wanted
lives only in my dreams
it's so sad that your life
revolves around a fad
you're burning down your future while you're building up your past
THE UNITY THEY SOLD TO ME WAS AN UGLY FUCKING LIE
THEY'VE CAST ME OUT AND I'VE SEEN THE TRUTH
CUZ I OPENED UP MY EYES
a fantasy i lived in
has now crashed into the ground
now nothing looks the same
it's all been turned around
i thought that i could life it and change the way things are
but i lived that way for years
and nothing's changed so far
it took so long to build it
this home i thought i'd found
but where there's smoke there's fire
and now it's burning down
