[Verse 1]
You can throw your conscience away
Just to land a good part in the play
Maybe there's a reason
That you feel so empty
Broken bottles and junk on the floor
It's hard to notice when your eye's on the score
If you burn a picture
To obtain the ashes
A bit of wind could blow what's left away
[Verse 2]
You can leave your heart at the door
You can waste all your time wanting more
You can play a victim
To a broken mirror
You can sell yourself for a dime
Step on anyone who borrows your time
You can be a hero
To your own reflection
You can feed your head with empty praise
[Verse 1 (reprise)]
If you burn a picture
To obtain the ashes
You resign to throw yourself away
You can throw your conscience away
Just to land a good part in the play
Maybe there's a reason
That you feel so empty
Broken bottles and junk on the floor
It's hard to notice when your eye's on the score
If you burn a picture
To obtain the ashes
A bit of wind could blow what's left away
[Verse 2]
You can leave your heart at the door
You can waste all your time wanting more
You can play a victim
To a broken mirror
You can sell yourself for a dime
Step on anyone who borrows your time
You can be a hero
To your own reflection
You can feed your head with empty praise
[Verse 1 (reprise)]
If you burn a picture
To obtain the ashes
You resign to throw yourself away
