Burn

I don't have a face for the screen

I don't have a voice for the stage

I can't play the keys or the strings

But the pen in my hand is a blaze

The words in my head gasoline

One spark is all that it takes

To engulf every page in the flames

So Burn

Burn, baby, burn

I need to feel the heat

Burn, baby, burn

Let that fire reach the peak

Burn, baby, burn

Burn it all away

This average man in the street

Now, this ain't the screen for my face

This ain't the stage for my voice

Please grant me a molecule of grace

This might’ve been my only choice

The pen in my hand pleads my case

The thoughts in my head they escape

One star is all that it takes

To defeat the darkness of space

So Burn

Burn, baby, burn

I need to feel the heat

Burn, baby, burn

Let that fire reach the peak

Burn, baby, burn

Burn it all away

This average man in the street

If my face wasn’t built for the screen

Does that mean I must remain unseen

If my voice doesn’t ring for the stage

Does that mean I’ve got nothing to say

When the words in my head need to bleed

the pen in my hand is the blade

So Burn

Burn, baby, burn

I need to feel the heat

Burn, baby, burn

Let that fire reach the peak

Burn, baby, burn

So burn

Burn, baby, burn

Burn it all away

This average man in the street
