David Ekerot - Burning Books

Did you come to lend a helping hand, you could, you could
Did you come to stick your head in the sand, it’s smart, it’s good
Did you come to be above all the rest, expanding your nest
Did you come just to speak with the dead, we’re here, we’re now
Was it all that it took, are you out burning books
Did you blend in with your things and your thoughts and your looks
Are you hiding your tears, did the world get you scared
You know it’s just a trick, we’re not going nowhere
Are you here as a man, are you here as a boy
Have you come to raise children in the sun, to keep them warm, when it’s cold
Have you come just to carelessly have fun, where did you go
Did you come to fight every day to stay alive, you know it’s you that I love
Did you come to quickly get out, without a sound
Was it all that it took, are you out burning books
Did you blend in with your things and your friends and your looks
Are you hiding your tears, are you running on fear
You know it’s just a trick, we’re not going nowhere
Did you get here by fate, did you get here by choice
Did you come here with a fist in the sky, screaming unite, people unite
Did you come to be a part of a lie, to sleep with open eyes
Are you here to play acoustic guitar, pouring blood on the scars
Did you come all this way just to get away from it all, you could, you will
If you do what you should, are you out burning books’
Did you blend in with your things and your thoughts and your looks
Are you hiding your tears, did the world get you scared
You know it’s just a trick we’re not going nowhere
Are you here to create, are you here to destroy?
