Burn It Down
Lyrics
In all my dreams, you're screaming
Burn it down
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 savior
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"
