I Fight Dragons - Burning It Down Lyrics






Woke up today and found myself
Thinking about the same preoccupation game I'm always playing
Thinking if I was someone else
I could find a way to turn my mind off and escape the walls I've built

Tried to remind myself it's all just an illusion
And the truth is no one's losing and nobody really wins
And if I find a way to let go of this self-reflexive echo
I could quit this grim fixation on my sins

Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we've lost will soon be found

We're burning it down
Burning it down

I dream of oceans blue and wide
Where we can sail away and leave it all behind in classic fashion
No one to blame us but the tide
Nothing to be blamed for anyway
No reasons we should hide

So I'm gathering my own rotten kindling
And I'm gonna make myself a beautiful bonfire
Feel free to join me if you're angry or you're lonely
Or just sick of fearing falling off the wire

Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we've lost will soon be found

We're burning it down
Burning it down

Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we've lost will soon be found

We're burning it down
Burning it down

Uncover your ears
Don't fear the sound

We're burning it down
Burning it down

    "Burning It Down" lyrics

    Woke up today and found myself
    Thinking about the same preoccupation game I'm always playing
    Thinking if I was someone else
    I could find a way to turn my mind off and escape the walls I've built

    Tried to remind myself it's all just an illusion
    And the truth is no one's losing and nobody really wins
    And if I find a way to let go of this self-reflexive echo
    I could quit this grim fixation on my sins

    Open your eyes and look around
    Open your ears and hear the sound
    All that we've lost will soon be found

    We're burning it down
    Burning it down

    I dream of oceans blue and wide
    Where we can sail away and leave it all behind in classic fashion
    No one to blame us but the tide
    Nothing to be blamed for anyway
    No reasons we should hide

    So I'm gathering my own rotten kindling
    And I'm gonna make myself a beautiful bonfire
    Feel free to join me if you're angry or you're lonely

    We're burning it down
    Burning it down

    Open your eyes and look around
    Open your ears and hear the sound
    All that we've lost will soon be found

    We're burning it down
    Burning it down

    Uncover your ears
    Don't fear the sound

    We're burning it down
    Burning it down

    I think it's "rock and kindling"
