I threw a match

Onto my bed

With all the things

Inside my head.



All of the pictures

And all of the names

All of the letters

And all of the games.



I watched the flames

engulf my life

As I tried to erase

The pain from my mind.



I let it all go

I let it all burn

Now I have to wait

Until it's my turn.



I let it burn

And watched the embers

And I tried to forget

The things I never wanted to remember.



I threw my music

And all of my art

Into the flames

Along with my heart.



I let it all go

I let it all burn

Now I have to wait

Until it's my turn.



I let it all burn...



I let it all burn...



The ashes lie grey

Like the skin on a dying man

Amidst my remains

As I let it all burn.
