Burn It Down - Silverstein, Caleb Shomo

I woke up in a dark place

I try to see straight, but it’s all a blur

I just wanna see your face

But I’m shivering, looking for a kerosene cure

I had my fortune read

From a fire lit by the dead

I saw the start of the end

And it whispered

«Let's burn it down, down

There’s no way out

I can read you like a matchbook

Speeding and we can’t slow down

'Cause I need this now»

In all my dreams, you’re screaming

«Burn it down, burn it down»

I’m sick of being deceived

With a blindfold on while I’m looking for a saviour

I try to stop the bleeding

But you cut so deep and I feel like a failure

I had my fortune read

And I know it’s slipping away again

I saw the start of the end

And it whispered

«Let's burn it down, down

There’s no way out

I can read you like a matchbook

Speeding and we can’t slow down

'Cause I need this now»

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down»

Down, down, down, down

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down»

Down, down, down, down

In all my dreams, you’re screaming

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down»

No rest for the weak with a voice this loud

Your mistake was the hope I found

I lit the match in the middle of the crowd

Watch it explode, let it fall to the ground

Wow

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I lit the match in the middle of the crowd

Watch it explode, let it fall to the ground

I lit the match in the middle of the crowd

Watch it explode, let it fall to the ground

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down, down

There’s no way out

I can read you like a matchbook

Speeding and we can’t slow down

'Cause I need this now»

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down»

Down, down, down, down

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down»

Down, down, down, down

In all my dreams, you’re screaming (You're screaming)

In all my dreams, you’re screaming, «Burn it down»
