From first to last
The art of the abandoned sons
When everyone knows your name
Who are you to anyone
I know you lost control
Couldn't see your fate
Tried to save your soul but you couldn't remain

You had to throw it away
Didn't you, didn't you
You had to spit on our faith
Couldn't you, couldn't you
Burn the system down
Burn the system down
(You had to throw it away)
Burn the system down
You had to burn the system down

I'm falling apart
I don't know where I've been
Or who I should have told
About lies that we've lived
I nearly lost control
As I saw your name
I couldn't let you go, I couldn't make you stay

You had to throw it away
Didn't you, didn't you
You had to spit on our faith
Couldn't you, couldn't you
Burn the system down
Burn the system down
(You had to throw it away)
Burn the system down
You had to burn the system down

Why did you throw it away
Make my pain decay
Why did you throw it away
Make my pain decay
Make my pain decay

You had to throw it away
You burn the system down
(You had to throw it away)

You burn the system down
(You had to throw it away)
Burn the system down
(You had to throw it away)
Burn the system down
(You had to throw it away)
Burn the system down
(You couldn't just let go)
