Lyrics

i'm gonna tear this house to pieces will you wait for

me outside i'm burnin down these walls killing

everything inside and in the morning when i wake with

my eyes swollen and red i'm gonna stretch my arms and

light a smoke and move forward again

cuz i'm carrying this emptiness everywhere i go and

the ashes that i collect they will remind me of home

and i will not be afraid cuz i'm stripped to the bone

and i'll realize the weight upon me is held by my hand

alone and with this in mind i'll smile and i'll simply

let go

and the paintings of the people i just couldn't bear

to burn i'll contain their memories with my love every

stroke and signature and in the evening as i lay there

unable to sleep i'll find solace in the paintings and

the images i keep

and i want all my friends to know that my love for

them has grown from a prayer to a poem and i'm

grateful to know that i am not alone yes i am

cuz i'm carrying this emptiness everywhere i go and

the ashes that i collect they will remind me of home

and i will not be afraid cuz i'm stripped to the bone

and i'll realize the weight upon me is held by my hand

alone and with this in mind i'll smile and i'll simply

let go
