Smash glass against the wall
Curse the music on the radio
that the neighbours play.
Door slams, she turns her head
Watches through the window as he pulls away
Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad
When all the while you feel so numb
Too old to be clean
far too young to be broken
Like an army we come

Cut back, left behind
I watched you self-destructing oh so many times
Shot down, once again
Sitting in a chair crying
what am I going to do with my life?
Just learn to hide
the way that you really feel
Never let them know that you're scared
But understand that you're not
the special only one
Watch us now, watch us real close

How we all dance with this fire
'cause it's all that we know
And as the spotlight turns toward us,
we all try our best to show
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled,
we are weak
We are the heirs,
we are the true heirs, to all the world

Let's go build a fire down on the empty beach
when the waves are crashing high
White heat purify, as the sparks fly up
into the great black sky
Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames
Stand as silhouettes against the dawn
It's far too late to try to sleep now,
seems I'm never tired any more

I want to dance with this fire
'cause it's all that I know
We are lost we are freaks
And we try our best to show
