Burn A Picture

by Red Vox

on Another Light (2017)

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 could leave your heart at the door
You could waste all your time on a mourn
You could play a victim
To a broken mirror

You could sell yourself for a dime
Step on anyone who borrows your time
You could be a hero
To your own reflection
You could 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
