Why is it so hard 
To say that you’re not okay 
We used to talk 
Every day in, day out 
Nothing to say. 
I’m in the waiting room 
My number tight in hand 
Always in the wrong queue 
Please put me down 
Let me drown 
What do you need 
In every day life 
It’s better to burn down 
Than fade out 
Even when truth 
Is killing you 
It’s better than fading out 
Halo of ash and bones 
We are not true to truth 
Heaven can’t wait for us 
And in my way 
I’ve gone astray. 
What do you need 
In every day life 
It’s better to burn down 
Than fade out 
Even when truth 
Is killing you 
It’s better than fading out 
Fuck your new car 
And your last wife 
It’s better to burn down 
Than fade out 
What will it take 
Someday somehow 
You will be able 
To figure it out 
Freedom’s such a common word these day 
Far to many dreams get washed away 
Away 
What do you need 
In every day life 
It’s better to burn down 
Than fade out 
Even when truth 
Is killing you 
It’s better than fading out. 
Fuck your new car 
And your last wife 
It’s better to burn down 
Than fade out 
What will it take 
Someday somehow 
You will be able
