You hold the world inside your smile I keep your smile in my eyes You imprison my heart in denial I feel at home in your lies I hold Hell inside of my spirit And I use my heartache to burn The world is on fire, can you hear it? The ashes can go in my urn The world is on fire, and I'm laughing I can't help but smile at the flames As the people around me are gasping And my selfish ways are to blame I wait till there's nothing but ashes And cry at this sad, empty place My memories are gone in short flashes And the glow is erased from my face

Burn
You hold the world inside your smile I keep your smile in my eyes You imprison my heart in denial I feel at home in your lies I hold Hell inside of my spirit And I use my heartache to burn The world is on fire, can you hear it? The ashes can go in my urn The world is on fire, and I'm laughing I can't help but smile at the flames As the people around me are gasping And my selfish ways are to blame I wait till there's nothing but ashes And cry at this sad, empty place My memories are gone in short flashes And the glow is erased from my face
