Burning It Down
Woke up today and found myself
Thinking about the same preoccupation game I'm always playing
Thinking if I was someone else
I could find a way to turn my mind off and escape the walls I've built
Tried to remind myself it's all just an illusion
And the truth is no one's losing and nobody really wins
And if I find a way to let go of this self-reflexive echo
I could quit this grim fixation on my sins
Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we've lost will soon be found
We're burning it down
Burning it down
I dream of oceans blue and wide
Where we can sail away and leave it all behind in classic fashion
No one to blame us but the tide
Nothing to be blamed for anyway
No reasons we should hide
So I'm gathering my own rotten kindling
And I'm gonna make myself a beautiful bonfire
Feel free to join me if you're angry or you're lonely
Or just sick of fearing falling off the wire
Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we've lost will soon be found
We're burning it down
Burning it down
[Instrumental Break]
Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we've lost will soon be found
We're burning it down
Burning it down
Uncover your ears
Don't fear the sound
We're burning it down
Burning it down
