Lyrics

Book Fire

we made our beds in the factories
very few places that we’d call home
everybody’s coming over the wire
some easy come, some easy go
they wrote us in the national registries.
down as a number, caught in a crossfire.
there’s things you’ll learn as you go, you’ll see
and bodies that only get burned i. the book fire.
bodies that only get burned i. the book fire.

and the papers said nothing
barely made a sound, and the visuals stunning
i saw him fall to the ground
oh but isn’t that stunning
the streets were left a-washed, nothing made a sound, and time got lost.
as we stared at the book fire
as we stared at the book fire

over the seasons for many the words got changed
what’s left of the record, it isn’t that clear.
i’m not even sure if i know where the bodies were laid,.
there’s a chill in the air, this particular time of year.
can’t capture the rapture can’t stray from the facts.
what was left on the asphalt never made it wax.
what we learned in the shadows kinda blew it to hell
as we stared at the book fire, oh well

as we stared at the book fire, oh well

as we stared at the book fire, oh well

as we stared at the book fire, oh well
