Look in the center where the cinders blaze
Sift through the shadows for days
Look in the corners, but you can't see me
You can't see me I'm free

I'm gonna burn it all down today, down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away

Count up the keepsakes in the cabinets
The keyboards and the chemistry sets
Look in the attic where the blinds are drawn
You won't find me I'm gone

I'm gonna burn it all down today, down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away

Etch an outline on your heart
I'm gonna blow the whole circus apart

Reckon the remnants when they land at last
The shattered aftermath of the blast
Look for me everywhere the burn marks form
Trying to find a place to keep warm

I'm gonna burn it all down today, down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away

I'm gonna burn it all down today, down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away

I'm gonna burn it all down today, down today, okay
I'm gonna burn it all down today
And sweep all the ashes away
