|
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! |
