Paroles de Burn

How does it feel to burn? drowning in self pity, convulsing in self hate
All your life's revolving around your fate
Lost and confused, who to believe?
Commercial gods shows us the way to be

You've got it all but what do you really gain?
Just mindless consumption to numb your brain
You've got it all but what have you really got?
Just obsessive thoughts that will make your brain rot

Time, time, time passes by
As you live your life in those foolish lies
Try to find happiness in eating, watching, buying
While time is ticking and flying

I said time passes by
While as in quicksand you keep sinking down
In your search for joy you can no longer hide
'cause happiness is just happiness when you are happy inside

How does it feel to burn? a materialistic world, a world based on greed
Where personal pleasure are decided by others need
Feed from the start the ideal life to get
You're trying so hard but you ain't found nothing yet

We all need a fluid to keep us warm inside
But we don't need those things to hide behind
Happiness is an emotion, it's not an object
But you're too insecure to face the fact

How does it feel to burn? drowning in self pity, convulsing in self hate
All your life's revolving around your fate
Lost and confused, who to believe?
Commercial gods shows us the way to be
