Burn This House Down Songtext
von Tedashii

In my room feeling trapped, a prison without bars
Stay dreaming of escape in my getaway car
Or a ship from outer space, maybe Venus, maybe Mars
I just want another place, this one seems too hard
Maybe another state, this one seems too large
For me to navigate, man, my compass seems wrong
So lighter, fire, matches, if I had this
I would burn this whole thing down right now
I don′t need it no more, man, that part of me is gone
Every picture, every letter, every part of this home
You can keep it, I don't need it, I′m moving, it's not a secret
I got a new home and I'm going there to see it


There′s a burning in my soul, man, there′s nowhere to go
So with fire in my eyes, I light up the sky
Let it burn (Let it burn), I burn this whole house down
Let it burn (Let it burn), I burn this house to the ground
'Cause there′s too many memories, too much pain
Too much for me to bear, I'm going insane
Let it burn (Burn), I burn this house to the ground
Let it burn (Burn), I burn this house to the ground

I can′t wait 'til I′m out of this house that I'm in
'Cause every single day I feel trapped inside my skin
Every scratch, every crack, every spot on the exterior
Flaws that make you pause, I feel so inferior
I was seven when I felt it, I couldn′t conceive it
Age eleven, felt it again and that′s when I believed it
Advances made at me and I wouldn't receive it
I tried to move on, but I′m stuck like cement
And I felt so alone, man, it's like this thing trapped me
I played make-believe to erase that it happened
Every fallen star, I′m wishing for a change
I need another place to live free from these chains


There's a burning in my soul, man, there′s nowhere to go
So with fire in my eyes, I light up the sky
Let it burn (Let it burn), I burn this whole house down
Let it burn (Let it burn), I burn this house to the ground
'Cause there's too many memories, too much pain
Too much for me to bear, I′m going insane
Let it burn (Burn), I burn this house to the ground
Let it burn (Burn), I burn this house to the ground

If he push me one more time, man, I swear that it′s on
They always picking on me and won't leave me alone
Racial slurs, hateful words while people stand there and laugh at ya
Go back to where? But I′m not even from Africa
Hard knock life with these after school fights
Man, I just wanna live, this doesn't seem right
Man, it seems so wrong, pain lasts this long
But this pain was the push to make me want a new home
I didn′t see it, but it saw me, didn't seek it, but it sought me
Didn′t buy it, but it bought me, hope you catch it, it caught me
Even victims aren't innocent and need answers for sinfulness
I understand the simpleness, but most still missing it

There's a burning in my soul, man, there′s nowhere to go
So with fire in my eyes, I light up the sky
Let it burn (Let it burn), I burn this whole house down
Let it burn (Let it burn), I burn this house to the ground
′Cause there's too many memories, too much pain
Too much for me to bear, I′m going insane
Let it burn (Burn), I burn this house to the ground
Let it burn (Burn), I burn this house to the ground

Let it burn, let it burn
I'm not gon′ miss it when it's gone, let it burn
And if you′re thinking that I'm staying, man, you gotta be playing
I can't wait to leave, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
I′m not gon′ miss it when it's gone, let it burn
And if you′re thinking that I'm staying, man, you gotta be playing
I can′t wait to leave, let it burn
