Burn it Down by Sunset

Set it all on fire, burn it down to the ground, let the smoke choke their screams into silence, by the time it falls, I'll be too far gone with the ash clouds long behind me. I'll drive south where we'll meet, pack your bags take a seat.  In my car we'll escape the sirens, screams and cries still ringing in my head.  Hold my hands till the shaking stops, she was 17 when the light went out, when the sun went down and her thoughts turned to doubt, one match. One match to burn it all down.
