Take the roof, take the cash Take the mess I made last year All the ghosts in this old house All the noise that brought me here

Take my plans and broken songs Take my name off every wall Take the nights I drank too long Maybe I don't need them at all

All these boxes, stacked with lies Photos fading, empty eyes

Take it all, every piece Every memory that cuts too deep Take it all, don't leave a thing Maybe then my heart can breathe Take it all, maybe I'll be free

Old jeans, game pads, burned-out phones Mixtapes from the dial-up zone Letters that I never sent Posters curling, heaven bent

Take the lies I tried to keep Take the fire, let it sweep Take it all into the flame What remains will have no name

Underneath the smoke and dust There's a silence I can trust

Take it all, every piece Every memory that cuts too deep Take it all, don't leave a thing Maybe then my heart can breathe Take it all, maybe I'll be free

I'm not the kid I used to be With comic dreams and worn CDs If you find me in that mess Leave me there — it's for the best

Take it all, I won't hide Burn my past and let it die Take it all, till nothing stays I'll be new come light of day Take it all… and set me free
