I'm burning down my house
One brick at a time
Burning it down to rubble
Hopefully I'll be done in time

I don't want to live here anymore
I want it to all be gone
I want to sit underneath it
Then me too I'll be gone

Far from anything under some hot coals
gone from the world under my burnt up life
it can't come soon enough not for me
in any kind of eventuality, I'll be free

I wish I didn't have to
I quite like everything here
But I'm not allowed to keep it
I can't be allowed to keep my fears

So Away my house
Away my soul
Gone on the wind my feelings
This world will not allow control
