Songs of Burning - Handsome Boy

Everybody loves you, everybody wants you

Everyone but me ‘cus I see through you

My sister used to tell me at night

About all the ones who fought the good fight

Everybody loves you, everybody needs you

The way you make it look like destiny true

My mother used to tell me at dawn

Of how the world turns on and on

You sparkle like a diamond, you glitter like a sequin the way you shine in the light

But you smile a bit too wide and you stare a bit too deep and something just isn’t right

But if you want to stare I’ll stare back at you

And if you want to dare I will dare you too

Everybody trusts you, everybody holds you

Everyone believes that your heart is true

My life has never been just my own

My love has never been fully known

When you show your power, when you make them cower

When you make them open up like flowers

If I was yours then I would disown

Each and every bond that we have grown

And I won’t fight you

I won’t argue

I’ll just dance under the full moon

I won’t help you

Or care for you

I’ll just bring the fire monsoon

And I won’t fight you

I won’t argue

I won’t break me into pieces

I won’t help you

Or care for you

I’ll just let them do what pleases

There are secrets we’ll never know

All throughout the stars’ soft glow

There are stories we cannot taste,

On the finely-clothed, they’re a waste
