Burn it up!
Set them on fire and watch as they burn
Take a match and watch as the flames engulf
The things that you don’t want anymore
Put them in a pile and set them ablaze
Then stand back as you gaze
Gaze into the burning abyss
As the things you no longer own turn to ash
And blow away in the wind
No more sorrow no more sin
