Stripped from video. Recorded August 30th, 2013 at Warehouse Live! in Houston, Texas.

lyrics

I cannot be the peg
in the hole of what you think I am or think that I should be.
Strike a match so I can burn down
this misappropriated identity.

Heart on fire,
hopes on fire,
wits and sentiments on fire.
Can’t you see it’s a facade?

Face on fire,
loins on fire,
fists and failures on fire.
Can’t you see it’s a facade?

I see your creamy skin,
and you see my sad eyes or hear the treble in my laugh.
But it’s a sad mistake to believe
that there’s a definition for you or me.

Heart on fire,
voice on fire,
flesh on fire, beliefs on fire.
Can’t you see it’s a facade?

Scars on fire,
clothes on fire,
friends and history on fire.
Can’t you see it’s a facade?

I’m not a heart.
I’m not a home.
I’m not a voice.
I’m not my taste in art or music.

I’m not a job.
I’m not my loins.
I’m not my country.
I’m not a personality type.

I’m not my clothes.
You’re not your hair.
I’m not my failures.
You’re not your past.

No, I’m not my ideas.
You’re not your reasons.
I’m not my pain.
You’re not your fears.

Heart on fire,
dreams on fire,
health and potential on fire.
Can’t you see it’s a facade?

Fears on fire,
kin on fire,
tongue, biology on fire.
Can’t you see it’s a facade?
