Married to this hysterical fear
I see myself in your cornfield eyes
It's hard for me to be unaffected
And the work, and the fire,
one for each photograph, one for each day
It's the silence at the burning bridge
I would do anything to chase it away
I put my want where I put the give
And I put my love to what I can
Conquer the bright, conquer the night
It's up to me to be unaffected
And the word and the fire burn
One for each boring crowd
It's the silence that the burden brings
It's the silence that the burning brings
I would do anything to chase it away
And the word, and the fire burns
It's the silence that the burning brings
I would do anything to chase it away
And the words, and the fire burns
It's the silence that the burning brings
I would do anything to chase it away
