Burn it Down

I’ve been holding this together with wire and tape Pretending that the cracks don’t show my shape Spent years trying to fix what’s already dead Should’ve walked away, burned it down instead Every compromise just made it worse Every sacrifice felt like a curse

I can’t save what doesn’t want to be saved I can’t fix what’s meant to fade away

Burn it down! Watch it all go up in flames! Burn it down! I don’t even know its name anymore! Light the match and let it go! Sometimes destruction’s how you grow! Burn it down! Burn it down!

They said be patient, give it one more try But I’m tired of choking on the smoke and lies You can’t rebuild on a rotten foundation This needs complete annihilation I’m done playing safe, I’m done playing scared The old me dies tonight, I don’t care

I can’t save what’s poisoning my soul I won’t fix what’s keeping me from whole

Burn it down! Watch it all go up in flames! Burn it down! Won’t apologize or take the blame! Light the match and walk away! Ashes make for better days! Burn it down! Burn it down!

Here’s the gasoline Here’s the spark Here’s the end Here’s the start

I’m the one holding the matches now I’m the one who won’t back down Watch me strike it, watch me throw Watch me finally let it go

Let! It! Burn! Let! It! Burn! From the ashes i return! Let! It! Burn! Let! It! Burn! This is how i fucking learn!

Burn it down! Nothing left but smoke and flames! Burn it down! I’m not running, I’m not ashamed! From the fire I emerge new! Destruction’s just another tool! Burn it down! I’ve burned it down!
