lyrics

Burn it down
So only the chimney’s left standing
And the charred hearth is a memoriam
To all the hopes and dreams that flew out that flew
And all the memories we ever knew

I can’t care about the next generation
I can’t even seem to care for myself
Burned our home down to spite our happiness
Now we’re both stuck in the wilderness

Burn it down
So the studs look like a book of matches
And all the left is the paper jacket
I can wear it to ward of all the tigers
They’ll think I’m one of them as I hide in their hide

I can’t care about the next generation
I can’t even seem to care for myself
Burned our home down to spite our happiness
Now we’re both stuck in the wilderness

Burn it down
Burn it down

I can’t care about the next generation
I can’t even seem to care for myself
Burned our home down to spite our happiness
Now we’re both stuck in the wilderness

Burn it down
So the plain is as plan is it can be
And the basement is a gaping whole in the ground
I can use it as my open casket
Stranger pointing as I lye in my lie

I can’t care about the next generation
