I've listened to the things you people say
Letting all that love you hide
see the light of day
Open up and let it show
Make it plain for all to see
I guess I just don't think that way
Such ways are not for me
They're not for me
I guess I always knew I'd start a war
and lock my chances in with me
hang a rag outside that door
And if I had a mirror
I would point my mirrors to
your ships and laugh just like a burning sun
But then that wind began to crawl
And I stumbled through the pages in the book
How did I
end up selling urchins to the sea
Is it me
Or was it just another day
when I rose and fell just like a burning sun
I moved on without friends and family
for doing all that putting up
and pinning all that faith on me
One by one I let them down
Now they wonder why
They wonder how
I walk around just like a burning sun
How do I sing of all the empty pages that it took
When I feel
I feel I'm selling urchins to the sea
Is it me
or was it just one hundred days
So I rise and fall just like a burning son
Just like a burning son
