Throw Your Books Into the Fire

I was lying dismantled under strange dust
When the banks burst to pick me up
The wind laid out a path for me
And I gave new names to the seas
But somewhere beneath the shivering beds
And the faces that I lost
The sun lost sight of me
The sun lost sight of me
I can see your hands reaching for me
But the pages are guiding me here
Take a torch to the ones you believe
Still the pages are guiding me here
When you tied me to the wheel
You knew what you signed up for
Your lips slur the question crazed
Against this panoply arrayed
Take another step up the spine
One vertebra at a time
Take another step up the spine
One vertebra at a time
I can see your hands reaching for me
But the pages are guiding me here
Take a torch to the ones you believe
Still the pages are guiding me here
I took the bread out of their mouths
I stole the bait right from the trap
And now they're trying to get it back
Throw your books into the fire
Look me right between the eyes
Did you know me at all?
Did you know me at all?
Throw your books into the fire
Everything you left behind
Did you know me at all?
The writing's on the wall
Throw your books into the fire
Look me right between the eyes
Did you know me at all?
You didn't know me at all
