Library Fires

library fires gonna burn down the words on the pages
naturally they're gonna leave you alone in the flames
too much attention being paid to the worst of the blazes
cover your faces children cover your ears
with smoke and with mirrors
their lessons will lead you astray
pariah
that fire in your eyes is gonna blind you
the ashes pilin' up a story high they'll never find you

library fires gonna glow on the eastern horizon
cover your eyes and endure it in silence
you've wasted your life but
you don't have the spine to escape
the violence
that fire in your eyes is gonna blind you
the ashes pilin' up a story high they'll never find you

blue and violet that fire in your eyes is gonna blind you
grey on violet the color of the sky you leave behind you
