Burning Down the Barn - Levi Stoker
I've been storing up the ghosts and the old regrets
Like a pile of dry timber and some unpaid debts
The cedar is rotting and the beams are all bent
And every last prayer has already been spent
I'm standing in the dirt with a match in my hand
Ready to purge this piece of land
There's a cleansing in the heat and a beauty in the blaze
Washing away the rot of the desperate days
Oh, I'm burning down the barn
Let the memories fire
Watching the orange smoke paint the midnight sky
Purify the spirit and ignite the bone
Building up a future from a charcoal stone
Yeah, let the rafters fall
And the shadows ignite
We're burning down the barn in the middle of the night
I see the family Bible turning into the ash
Along with the pictures and the secret stash cash
The widow was coming and the heart was so cold
But I'd rather have the heat than the stories of old
Don't look for the tracker, don't look for the hate
It's all just a vapor at the end of the day
Oh, I'm burning down the barn
Let the memories fire
Watching the orange smoke paint the midnight sky
Purify the spirit and ignite the bone
Building up a future from a charcoal stone
Yeah, let the rafters fall
And the shadows ignite
We're burning down the barn in the middle of the night
You can't stay the past when the roof's on the floor
I'm walking through the fire to a brand new door
Oh, burning down the barn
Keeping me from all
The world that's getting warm
