Mister Graves - Burning for the Past Lyrics

You will not see me, down in a ball on the floor
Crying about all the days before
Tears in my eyes about the way
Things used to be

You will not hear me, screaming at the wall
About how once I was... beautiful
But that doesn't mean that I don't sometimes feel the pain

Are you burning for the past?
Sitting here in the mirror, thinking of all the years
Gone by since your face didn't sag
When your eyes seemed to glow
Even thought you try to tell yourself
That beauty is essentially... hollow

They will not see you, curled up in bed
Shaking at the thought of how many days
It is until you're dead

They will not hear you, praying to God
To strip you of your fears
Of the time you know know is gone
But that doesn't mean that you're not sometimes a little vain

Are you burning for the past?
Sitting here at the bar, thinking of all the f*cking years
Gone by since the eyes looked your way
When your face seemed glow
Even though you try to tell yourself
That a perfect... body... is hollow

Are you burning to return
To a time when you felt your body
But only in a way
That didn't hurt
Unless you chose to?
