Rifling through the pages in a book of matches
Searching for that missing spark
Need to fill this empty heart

No difference from my pacing beating to outrun the tragic
I've dug too deep
Replace deceit with fantasy

And I will burn down this house
That I built from sympathy cards
Yeah I will burn down this house tonight
We don't need the morning light
And I will burn down this house
That I built from sympathy cards
Yeah I will burn down this house tonight
We don't need the morning light

Reading past the headlines in a magazine of bullets
I need a shot
Gasoline for a bleeding heart
Fueled by fear and a creeping need to feel anything other than hollow
I hate this disease
Kiss the flames in my diary

And I will burn down this house
That I built from sympathy cards
Yeah I will burn down this house tonight
We don't need the morning light
And I will burn down this house
That I built from sympathy cards
Yeah I will burn down this house tonight
Wait until the morning light

This is my burning home
These ashes are my own
I'm dancing in the dust and I will sit upon my throne
I am the king of nothing
My subjects are hollow
And I will wear a crown of flames
And you will be unknown

And I will burn down this house
That I built from sympathy cards
Yeah I will burn down this house tonight
We don't need the morning light
And I will burn down this house
That I built from sympathy cards
Yeah I will burn down this house tonight
We don't need the morning light
