Antlerhead - Burn it Down Lyrics

Every night I go out
And I throw empty bottles at my old house
No one has lived there since I moved out
And I've held myself back a few times from
Burning it to the ground.

Oh what dream it was
To fall in love
That American spirit
Was so alive in us
So take take take it away
I cannot stand anything
That you left standing
When you said you were a
Fox in a cage
So I let you out
I let you out.

I, I don't wanna be a dead man's ghost
But if I'm gonna stay alive
I've gotta let some old things go

We've gotta burn it down
Burn it down
We've gotta burn it down
So I can move on

I moved back home again
I sleep at my parents' and
Pick up jobs with my friends
And y'all still bugging me like I wanted any of this
But I can't get around it.

Oh what a dream it was
Being young and dumb
Smoking American Spirits
Like we're impervious
So I'm break break breaking away
Cuz I cannot stand anything
The thought of one more person
Asking me how hard have I prayed
Go f*ck yourself

I, I don't wanna bare a dead man's cross
But if I'm gonna stay alive
I've gotta shake some old things off

We've gotta burn it down
Burn it down
We've gotta burn it down
So I can move...

Oh I remember it clearly
The bottles I would break in your name
It's my fault for coming back
Only way to leave the past is
Watching as it goes up in flames

I, I don't wanna be a dead man's ghost
But if I'm gonna stay alive
I've gotta let some old things go

We've gotta burn it down
Burn it down
I gotta let some old things go
I've gotta burn it down
So I can move on
We've gotta burn it down
Burn it down
