Burn This House Down

In my room feelin trapped

A prison without bars

Stay dreamin of escape in my getaway car

Or a ship from outer space

Maybe Venus maybe Mars

I just want another place

This one seems to 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 movin' it's not a secret

I got a new home and I'm goin there to see it

There's a burnin in my soul and 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 goin' 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 me 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 falling star

I'm wishin for a change

I need another place to live free from these chains

There's a burnin in my soul and 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 goin' insane

Let it burn burn)

I burn this house to the ground let it burn burn)

I burn this house to the ground

If you push me one more time

Man I swear that it's on

They always pickin' 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 missin' it

There's a burnin in my soul and 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 goin' 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 thinkin' that I'm sayin'

That you gotta be playin'

I cant 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 thinkin' that I'm sayin'

That you gotta be playin'

I cant wait to leave let it burn
