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 can't 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 can't wait to leave, let it burn
