Adventure Thing #22 - "Burning It Down" Acoustic Demo (Patreon)

Howdy howdy!

This week we're jumping back to another interesting song that morphed somewhat during bandscratching (although nowhere near as much as "The Devil You Know").  

But first things first, here it is in Acoustic Demo form!  It's a moodier, darker one, and while it's not a no-brainer for the album, it's definitely still in contention. I hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

Woke up today and found myself
Thinking bout the same preoccupation game I’m always playing
Thinking if I was someone else
I could find a way to turn my mind off and escape the walls I’ve built

Try to remind myself it’s all just an illusion
And the truth is no one’s losing and nobody really wins
And if I find a way to let go of this self-reflexive echo
I could quit this grim fixation on my sins

Chorus:
Open your eyes and look around
Open your ears and hear the sound
All that we’ve lost will soon be found
We're burning it down
Burning it down 

Woah
Uncover your ears, don't fear the sound
We're burning it down
Burning it down

I dream of oceans blue and wide
Where we can sail away and leave it all behind in classic fashion
No one to blame us but the tide 
Nothing to be blamed for anyway no reasons we should hide.

So I’m gathering my own rotten kindling
And I’m gonna make myself a beautiful bonfire
Feel free to join me if you’re angry or you’re lonely or just
Sick of fearing falling off the wire

Chorus
