You can throw your conscience away Just to land a good part in the play Maybe there's a reason that you feel so empty Broken bottles and junk on the floor Its hard to notice when your eye's on the score If you burn a picture to obtain the ashes A bit of wind could blow what's left away You can leave your heart at the door You can waste all your time wanting more You can play a victim to a broken mirror You can sell yourself for a dime Step on anyone who borrows your time You can be a hero to your own reflection You can fill your head with empty praise If you burn a picture to obtain the ashes You resign to throw yourself away There's another light
