I made sure, my dear
I made sure of it, my dear
Made sure of the life we'd be living here
While you thought I was VULNERABLE and WEAK
I made sure they'd never again speak!
A drop was all it took, a drop ever so sweet
And down they FELL, their fate to meet
You see, my dear, you were always my favorite
So I made sure, I MADE SURE they would savor it
For no matter what crimes were revealed
Every man deserves a final meal
Burn it, BURN IT all down
So at last we will see the sky
Burn it, BURN IT to the ground
So at last you will know
YOU WILL KNOW WHY
I will keep you safe
I will show you the way
They treated me like the SCUM of the Earth
While dear old Mother questioned why she gave birth
You see, I really wasn't given a choice
I had to give my thoughts a LITERAL voice
Come out to meet me by the tree
I'll give your eyes so much more to see
Burn it... burn it all down
Burn it, BURN IT all down
So at last we will see the sky
Burn it, BURN IT to the ground
So at last you will know
YOU WILL KNOW WHY
I made sure of it, my dear
Made sure of the life we'd be living here
While you thought I was VULNERABLE and WEAK
I made sure they'd never again speak!
A drop was all it took, a drop ever so sweet
And down they FELL, their fate to meet
You see, my dear, you were always my favorite
So I made sure, I MADE SURE they would savor it
For no matter what crimes were revealed
Every man deserves a final meal
Burn it, BURN IT all down
So at last we will see the sky
Burn it, BURN IT to the ground
So at last you will know
YOU WILL KNOW WHY
I will keep you safe
I will show you the way
They treated me like the SCUM of the Earth
While dear old Mother questioned why she gave birth
You see, I really wasn't given a choice
I had to give my thoughts a LITERAL voice
Come out to meet me by the tree
I'll give your eyes so much more to see
Burn it... burn it all down
Burn it, BURN IT all down
So at last we will see the sky
Burn it, BURN IT to the ground
So at last you will know
YOU WILL KNOW WHY

I think this is about setting ablaze any remnants of a toxic past while brazenly embracing the next chapter (come what may) in all its glory.
