Lyrics
Would I trade the risks which define me for a fake sense of security?
It burns when you learn how much...
It burns when you learn...
How much that which gave me everything also takes, demands, more than anything.
It burns when you learn how much...
It burns when you learn how much you still have to learn.
Learn to have faith in the value of poverty.
Learn to hate comfort, which will breed mediocrity.
It burns when you learn how much...
It burns when you learn how much you still have to learn.
(When the ease is far surpassed by friction,
and I am left in painful dereliction,
remember that my strength is also my affliction
and so I know the charm of contradiction.
Remember that my greatest strength is also my affliction
and so I love the charm of contradiction.)
