Charlie Bookout Studio Works - I'm Gonna Burn Your House Down Lyrics

I'm gonna burn your house down
Burn this sumbitch down to the ground

Staring into its flames, filled with hate
I know I've waited too long, but it's not too late

As the walls are fallin'
I can hear happiness callin'

By the time it burns away to the last ember
I will no longer remember
The way it was before
'Cause I will no longer knock at its door

I can see the sun shining through the smoke

The smoke tries to block it out
But looking at it now
I know it's all a joke
And so does the smoke

So it burns away to make room for the brightness of the day
It's gonna be better than it was before
And I will never see the smoke anymore

This house whose walls held nothing but hate and blackness and sin
Is now gone without a trace

And now I will plant a flower to take its place
