[Verse 1]
I watched the old me crack
In the back of your stare
Pockets full of matchbooks
I was done with the air
I carried too much smoke
Through the rooms of my name
Every floor I stood on
Was a soft pile of shame
[Pre-Chorus]
So strike the line
Let it go red
If I’m gonna live
I need the dead
[Chorus]
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
Let the old skin fail
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
I’m coming back alive
From the rail
[Verse 2]
I had my hands in the wreck
Like I wanted the pain
Felt the heat in my ribs
Then I laughed at the flame
Now the mirror says new
When it looks at my face
Same scars, different sound
Same heart, different place
[Pre-Chorus]
So strike the line
Let it go red
If I’m gonna live
I need the dead
[Chorus]
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
Let the old skin fail
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
I’m coming back alive
From the rail
[Bridge]
I’m not asking for mercy
I’m asking for truth
You can keep all the wreckage
I won’t carry the proof
Watch me step through the ash
With a pulse in my chest
What you thought was the end
Was the start I possessed
[Final Chorus]
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
Let the old skin fail
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
I’m coming back alive
From the rail
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
No more dragging the past
Burn it all down
(Burn it all down)
I rise out of the black
At last
