Headstones and Old Bones - Firestarter

In time you’ll learn that you never get what you want

In this day and age that’s not how we were brought up

So make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day

So make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day

In a world unfamiliar, how’s the view from your cell

This self-created hell at the bottom of a wishing well

When you look in a mirror, do you recognize yourself

Are you happy with what you see and the image they tell you to be

(We fight to win) The acceptance from all our friends, all our friends and

loved ones

(So don’t give in) To the weight of the world, to the weight of the world on

your shoulders

So take your time and don’t let go, cause giving up hurts more than you should

know

On the day you die what will you have to show, besides a headstone,

what’s left of your old bones

Improve your life, before it gets too late

You would think I’m lying, no one gets a clean slate

Will you follow through, the things you said to me

I watch you turn blue, as you fall apart at the seams

So take your time and don’t let go, cause giving up hurts more than you should

know

On the day you die what will you have to show, besides a headstone,

what’s left of your old bones

So let’s make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day

So let’s make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day

(So don’t give in) To the weight of the world, to the weight of the world on

your shoulders

(Live and learn) To forget the past, to forget the past that haunts you

(Don't burn the bridge) Good things won’t come, good things won’t come until

you wait
