lyrics

We walk to the old neighborhood
And begin what we both know should
Have been done years ago.

In the darkness we both see
A house full of memories
And nothing else—a hollow shell.

Light the rag and throw
The bottle through the window to the living room,
And let the house burn down.

Licked by flames, but there’s no spit
Just the sound of rafters being split
And snapped like cracking bones.

Brother, all that you can do
Is break the thing that has broken you
And watch the smoke climb.

Light the rag and throw
The bottle through the window to the living room,
And let the house burn down,
And let the house burn down.

It feels so good to watch the past
Slowly smolder into ash
And dust, and nothing.

We turn to leave and we both pass
Over bits of wood and broken glass.
That’s all we left.

Light the rag and throw
The bottle through the window to the living room.
And let the house burn down,
And let the house burn down,
And let the house burn down.
