Burning Books

Did you come to lend a helping hand, you could, you could Did you come to stick your head in the sand, it’s smart, it’s good Did you come to be above all the rest, expanding your nest Did you come just to speak with the dead, we’re here, we’re now Was it all that it took, are you out burning books Did you blend in with your things and your thoughts and your looks Are you hiding your tears, did the world get you scared You know it’s just a trick, we’re not going nowhere Are you here as a man, are you here as a boy Have you come to raise children in the sun, to keep them warm, when it’s cold Have you come just to carelessly have fun, where did you go Did you come to fight every day to stay alive, you know it’s you that I love Did you come to quickly get out, without a sound Was it all that it took, are you out burning books Did you blend in with your things and your friends and your looks Are you hiding your tears, are you running on fear You know it’s just a trick, we’re not going nowhere Did you get here by fate, did you get here by choice Did you come here with a fist in the sky, screaming unite, people unite Did you come to be a part of a lie, to sleep with open eyes Are you here to play acoustic guitar, pouring blood on the scars Did you come all this way just to get away from it all, you could, you will If you do what you should, are you out burning books’ Did you blend in with your things and your thoughts and your looks Are you hiding your tears, did the world get you scared You know it’s just a trick we’re not going nowhere Are you here to create, are you here to destroy?
