The color faded from these pictures
A silent movie fades to black
The broken home we built together
The ripping flames drown the cries

I watch it burn as I stand naked
The fire illuminates the lies
It brings to light the scars I've hidden
The shadowed texture of the fights

A testament to the blood shed
The shattered dreams we never had
A lack of reason and desire
The bitter taste of death inside

Hold my heart on the balance
The feather weighs it down as I am lifted
Pray to God who never answered
Because I'm alone when I'm with you

I watch it burn as I stand naked
The fire illuminates the lies
It brings to light the scars I've hidden
The shadowed texture of the fights

The color faded from these pictures
A silent movie fades to black
The broken home we built together
The ripping flames drown the cries

Pray to God who never answered
Because I'm alone when I'm with you
