Burn This Whole Place Down

This paper is my bible, this pen in my hand
I used to pray for my survival now I'm sketching my plans
And if it's safe to say my savior is this notebook
I level my stance I'm sending twenty six letters with stamps
I understand you've have a better fate, forget it, get it, go and get your center straight
I'm getting straight with my demons, watch me demonstrate I've never been afraid of having fears
I know this life can put a slug in you like Atmosphere
But now I'm hiking home with a microphone trapped as a widower enlight my soul
At night alone I would like to fight the fight's bite
But it's bitter when I write my poems
Born and raised awake poorly fade away snore the day away sorely lay awake
Nights I know what a better way to betterment I better get a better fate or write my own
This is the answer key don't let it tear apart drumbeat up meet up with me on an upbeat of my failing heart beat But never let them tell you not to carry on
I've got one question all I need's an answer and I'm gone
This song is my scripture it flows through my veins with every single note's fluctuation holding me my only escape
I'm painting with my religion prophesized on a tape deck
My explanation for how and why this makes sense
Life goes by fast, break necks like we did as children change swept divorce came
Names kept another new neighbor came and went, you can take my clothes but you will never break my bones
I focus, write it off, of my self perception handle a little bit of pain if I can just channel it into my self expression
Hate how we say goodbye, for the first time I had felt depression I'm gonna spill my heart out I'll go to hell confessing everything
The sidewalk has cracks I learned that every one will tell a story like a raconteur
So if you chase me, try to capture my passion before it bursts

You can start your own fire, you don't have to burn
Burn this whole place down

If I can start my own fire I won't have to burn Who says I can't take this whole place down?
