Lyrics
Burning Down Yesterday
Music by Chris McKay/Andy Ainsworth/Michael Rietveld
Lyrics by Chris McKay
Welcome to the last beginning
Of a former life
I?m striking a match
To the wrongs that were done
By moving on tonight
I?ve got to do it now
While the getting?s good
Before I second guess
I?ll deconstruct oblivion
And turn it into rest
Chorus:
Light a match to build a fire
To burn down all my yesterdays
Light a match to build a fire
To burn down all my yesterdays
Everything is depending on this
I?ve got nothing else to lose
Coughing up skeletons has made me choke
And left me scared to move
So I am biting down hard and dressing up
I?ll go in cool and calm
And take them all out
Before they know what hit ?em
Like a ribbon around a bomb
Repeat Chorus
The past is dying
The time is now
Because the future?s almost history
Internal revolution is the lightning
That will set me free
And burn down all that?s made me
Keep on running in
And turning with serious purpose
Before these stupid winds
Repeat Chorus
