Burn the Bedroom Down

Intro

Smoke in the rafters

Match in my hand

Verse 1

Curtains catch the first light of a war I started slow

Plastic trophies melting on the windowsill below

They sold us pictures of a future painted clean

So I set the lie on fire and I'm not sorry

Chorus

Burn the bedroom down (let it go)

Every silly dream I've outgrown

Burn the bedroom down (watch it go)

Childhood's a cage I'm leaving alone

And the ash tastes like freedom

Cold and sweet and finally mine

Drop

Fire fire fire fire

Verse 2

They taught me how to bow my head and whisper please

Measured out my innocence in gold and degrees

I'm trading the fort I built for something cold and real

No more hiding in the blanket for how I feel

Chorus

Burn the bedroom down (let it go)

Every silly dream I've outgrown

Burn the bedroom down (watch it go)

Childhood's a cage I'm leaving alone

And the ash tastes like freedom

Cold and sweet and finally mine

Bridge

They called it wasted youth like that's a crime

I call it stepping out of line

Flames and bones and overdue

This is what becoming does to you

Chorus

Burn the bedroom down (let it go)

Every silly dream I've outgrown

Burn the bedroom down (watch it go)

Childhood's a cage I'm leaving alone

And the ash tastes like freedom

Cold and sweet and finally mine
