Emily Scott Robinson - Let 'Em Burn lyrics

Artist: Emily Scott Robinson

album: American Siren


White picket fence
A quiet street
Faithful wife of fifteen years
Mother of three
I go to church
I say my prayers
But I have never felt the breath of God in there
I followed every rule and played it safe
And I built myself a beautiful cage
The coffee's on
The kids asleep
This is the only time I feel like I can breathe
I left last night
I lock the door
And cried myself to sleep
On the bathroom floor
Cause I lit a match and held it
To my yearning
And found out I was a house
Already burning
On the edge of something wild
On the edge of something free
On the edge of something reckless
I get down on my knees
If you don't recognize me
When I come back around
It's 'cause all the things I thought I'd be
I let 'em all burn to the ground
I let 'em burn
I let 'em burn
I never dreamed
I'd start this war
When I was young
I was so innocent and sure
I was afraid
To be alone
So I wrote every vow of loyalty in stone
Is this the life
I want for my own daughter
Just trying to keep her head
Above the water
What if desire is a gift
And not a sin
What if this could be the start
And not the end
On the edge of something wild
On the edge of something free
On the edge of something reckless
I get down on my knees
If you don't recognize me
When I come back around
'Cause all the things I thought I'd be
Yes all the things
I swore I'd be
I let 'em all burn to the ground
I let 'em burn
I let 'em burn
I let 'em burn
Burn
Burn
