[Live Intro — spoken] "Some things ain't worth saving. Some things are." [amp hum] "Problem is figuring out which is which." [slow guitar scrape] [RIFF] [Verse 1] I kept an old photograph Longer than I kept the girl Kept a grudge for three damn years Like it was worth something in this world Kept every word she said Every little cut Funny how a man can drown In shit he won't give up [Pre-Chorus] So I poured one out Watched it hit the dirt Said, "That didn't fix a thing." But hell— It didn't make it worse [Chorus] BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN IF IT AIN'T GOT LIFE IN IT LET IT LEAVE BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN KEEP WHAT'S TRUE LET THE REST OF IT BLEED NO GHOSTS NO CHAINS NO DAMN IN-BETWEEN IF IT'S DEAD— BURN IT CLEAN [Verse 2] Had an old friend call me Said, "Man, you still mad?" I said, "Not enough to answer Every question from the past." He laughed Said, "You got cold." I said, "Nah. Just quit warming my hands On the same old fire." [Pre-Chorus] Some things need mercy Some things need a match Some things you forgive And still don't take back [Chorus] BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN IF IT AIN'T GOT LIFE IN IT LET IT LEAVE BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN KEEP WHAT'S TRUE LET THE REST OF IT BLEED NO GHOSTS NO CHAINS NO DAMN IN-BETWEEN IF IT'S DEAD— BURN IT CLEAN [Heavy Break] [half-time riff] I ain't burning bridges Just because I'm sore But I ain't rebuilding every one That fell apart before Some roads were lessons Some doors were lies Some things only look alive 'Cause you ain't let 'em die [RIFF STOPS] Silas: "Yeah... That one's expensive." [Bridge — dark blues] I can love what was Without living there I can miss your face Without needing you near I can carry the scar Without carrying the scene Sometimes letting go Ain't weak It's clean [Guitar Solo — huge slow bends, then erupts] [Breakdown — crowd chant] SILAS: IF IT'S TRUE— CROWD: KEEP IT! SILAS: IF IT'S DEAD— CROWD: BURN IT! SILAS: IF IT'S YOURS— CROWD: OWN IT! SILAS: IF IT AIN'T— [stop] Silas: "Quit dragging it around." [Final Chorus] BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN IF IT AIN'T GOT LIFE IN IT LET IT LEAVE BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN KEEP WHAT'S TRUE LET THE REST OF IT BLEED NO GHOSTS NO CHAINS NO BEGGING WHAT'S BEEN IF IT'S DEAD— BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN BURN IT CLEAN [Outro] [low guitar feedback] Some things ain't worth saving. Some things are. Know the difference. [final hit]
