Song:   Burn This House Down
Typed by: AZ Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my room feeling trapped
A prison without bars
Stay dreaming of escape in my get-a-way 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 to 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 seek it

[Chorus]
There's a burnin' in my soul
Man, there's no where to go
So with fire in my eyes
I'll light up the sky
Let it burn! (Let it burn!)
I'll burn this whole house down
Let it burn! (Let it burn!)
I'll 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'll burn this house to the ground
Let it burn! (Burn!)
I'll burn this house to the ground

[Verse 2]
I can't wait till' 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 7 when I felt it
I couldn't perceive it
Age 11, thought 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 "Sealed-In"
And I felt so alone that it's like this thing trapped me
I played make-believe to a race that had happened
Every falling star, I'm wishing for a change
I need another place to live-free from these chains!

[Chorus]
There's a burnin' in my soul
Man, there's no where to go
So with fire in my eyes
I'll light up the sky
Let it burn! (Let it burn!)
I'll burn this whole house down
Let it burn! (Let it burn!)
I'll 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'll burn this house to the ground
Let it burn! (Burn!)
I'll burn this house to the ground

[Verse 3]
If you push me one more time, then 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! "
Heart not right with these after school fights
Man, I just wanna Live
This doesn't seem right
When they seem 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 miss it

[Chorus]
There's a burnin' in my soul
Man, there's no where to go
So with fire in my eyes
I'll light up the sky
Let it burn! (Let it burn!)
I'll burn this whole house down
Let it burn! (Let it burn!)
I'll 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'll burn this house to the ground
Let it burn! (Burn!)
I'll burn this house to the ground

[Bridge]
Let it burn!
Let it burn!
I'm not goin' miss it when it's gone
Let it burn!
And if you thinking that I'm staying
Then you got to be playing
I can't wait to leave
Let it burn!
Let it burn!
Let it burn!
I'm not goin' miss it when it's gone
Let it burn!
And if you thinking that I'm staying
Then you got to be playing
I can't wait to leave
Let it burn!
