Bonfire at Home - Self Portrait Lyrics

I've never been one to hurt myself
But they've always said my mind was sharp
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But only words can break my heart

I've heard it said I'd burn out bright and young
Destiny within my palms
Better than most and most everything
And yet best at naught at all

Say your prayers, tonight I'm fine
Lay your layers inside my mind

Friends and lovers, they come and they go
Yet my memories, they never do
Oh science, what is science? It's my soul that sings
How it yearns to bear the truth

Say your prayers, tonight I'm fine
Lay your layers inside my mind

Water pooling in my cool blue eyes
Facts and figures they can't be denied
If you look within you'll be surprised
I can't but tell the truth

Water pooling in my cool blue eyes
Facts and figures they can't be denied
If you look within you'll be surprised
I can't but tell the truth

Water pooling in my cool blue eyes
Facts and figures they can't be denied
If you look within you'll be surprised
I can't but tell the truth
