Lyrics for Burning Down

So this house is now on fire. Let me warm myself The flames no longer burn me. There's no danger to my health I can see the falling cinders, making ghosts upon the ground This place is the story of my life, and I see it, I see it burning down! Not much time left now, before my final bow I'll let the fires rage, so I can clear the stage I need to purify if I am going to rise Into a different place - into a different state This place is the story of my life, and I see it, I see it burning down! Not much time left now before my final bow So I must clear my head on any doubt or dread I need to sanitise if I am going to rise Into a different place - into a different state All signs are gone now of my previous existence All signs are gone now of my relevance significance of worth When this fire is truly over, there is nothing to be found This place is the story of my life, and I see it, I see it burning down! All signs are gone now of my previous existence All signs are gone now of my relevance significance of worth All signs are gone now of my tedious existence All signs are gone now of my innocence my childhood or my birth All signs are gone now of my previous existence All signs are gone now of my presence here or consequence on earth
