Burn It Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I didn’t say a word
It’s only destiny I heard
The time had come for me to run away
“Don’t even turn around” is what they say
I couldn’t say a word
It’s only dignity I heard
But once I go, there is no coming back
Throw away all that I one time had
I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Had me tied up and I couldn’t breathe
I cut the rope and then I broke free
Whatever was left I threw it down into the dirt
And kicked the dust until my damned eyes hurt
I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down
I couldn’t say a word
It’s just a mystery I heard
Maybe I’ll miss it on some lonely day
And maybe think about what I might say
I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down
I’ll burn it down
Gonna burn it down
Gonna burn it down
