Come waste your millions here, secretly she says Another corporate show, a guilty conscience grows And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow She burns like the sun, and I can't look away She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake Come let the truth be shared, no one ever dared To break these endless lies, secretly she cries She burns like the sun, and I can't look away She'll burn our horizons, make no mistake And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame And I'll hide from the world behind a broken frame And I'll burn forever, I can't face the shame
