Burn It Down
♫ Linkin Park Lyrics

The cycle repeated
The same thing keeps happening over and over again.

As explosions broke in the sky
Things were exploding all around.

All that I needed
I was missing something very important.

Was the one thing I couldn't find
I couldn't find the one thing I needed.

And you were there at the turn
You were there when I needed you the most.

Waiting to let me know
You were waiting to tell me something important.

We're building it up
We're making something bigger.

To break it back down
To destroy what we just built.

To burn it down
To set it on fire.

We can't wait
We're excited to do it.

The colors conflicted
Things didn't match and looked bad together.

As the flames, climbed into the clouds
The fire was getting bigger and higher.

I wanted to fix this
I wanted to make things better.

But couldn't stop from tearing it down
But ended up destroying it instead.

Caught in the burning glow
Trapped in the fiery destruction.

And I was there at the turn
I was also there when things went wrong.

You told me yes
You said yes to me.

You held me high
You made me feel important.

And I believed when you told that lie
But it turns out you were lying to me.

I played soldier, you played king
I did what I was supposed to do, but you acted like you were in charge.

And struck me down, when I kissed that ring
And you punished me for doing what you wanted me to do.

You lost that right, to hold that crown
You don't have the right to be in charge anymore.

I built you up, but you let me down
I made you more important, but you disappointed me.

So when you fall, I'll take my turn
So when you fail, I'll try again.

And fan the flames
And make things worse by adding fuel to the fire.

When you fall, I'll take my turn
When you fail, I'll have another chance.

As your blazes burn
As you suffer the consequences of your actions.

We can't wait
We're excited to destroy everything.

To burn it to the ground
To set everything on fire and destroy it completely.
