Bending bone avoiding arrows
Acting like the day we found you
Holding back as they push forward
Beg and steal but say you borrowed
Why did you care if they
Don't know why you did what you did
Doesn't matter in the end
When will you understand

You burned so bright
Despite their reactions
Can't get around
The sight of your ashes
We stopped counting
Long ago

Holding on to their tomorrows
Can't connect just can't follow
Played it out but not quite bleeding
Standing, kicking you go screaming
How do you know that we
Don't care why you did what you did
Doesn't help when you pretend
When will you understand

You burned so bright
Despite their reactions
Can't get around
The sight of your ashes

Certified
In modern day fashions
Gave you away
In spite of the acting
We stopped counting
Long ago

You burned so bright
Despite their advances
Can't get around
The sight of your ashes

Certified
In modern day fashions
Sent you away
A chorus of laughter

We stopped counting
Don't you know
We stopped counting
Don't you know
We stopped counting
Don't you know
