lyrics

Just Another Burn Out

What goes unsaid
Hangs heavy in the room
Those things unknown
Are left just to be assumed

Can truth be revealed?
Or silence allowed to endure
Is it a shield?
To conceal what may be impure

We try to solve
Those unspoken riddles we leave
But the effort involved makes you
Retract
And close down
Can’t give anything when you’re broken

We’ll just be a memory in space
The faintest glow our only trace
Just another burn out
Just another burn out

The knot it unties
The boat is let loose to drift
Until it finds
An ocean between the cliffs

Can it be retrieved?
Who will open their sail to the wind?
Are we just deceived by what
We read
Of the state
To which we’ve let this escalate?

All we’ll be is a memory in space
The faintest glow our only trace
Just another burn out
