| Stand down, stand down
|
| Why do you build your towers?
|
| (Stand down, stand down)
|
| (Why do you build your towers?)
|
| My best defenses fall apart at my weakest hours
|
| I try and I try to build these walls up to the sky
|
| But all I have become is a walking, breathing empire of lies
|
| (Bury my body) my corpse-shaped seed
|
| (Start all over, just like a tree)
|
| My bones like roots, my tongue like leaves
|
| (We'll grow back deeper)
|
| Because trees they grow back stronger
|
| Hearts they grow back stronger
|
| They will grow back meeker
|
| And I will grow back stronger
|
| Wake up, wake up! |
| We are all on fire
|
| We’re walking torches fueled by our own desires
|
| And I’m am no exception
|
| I’m the perfect formulaic, failure combination
|
| Too much confidence, three parts desperation
|
| I’m gonna sever my head (to get a different point of view)
|
| (Bury my body) my corpse-shaped seed
|
| (Start all over, just like a tree)
|
| My bones like roots, my tongue like leaves
|
| (We'll grow back deeper)
|
| Because trees they grow back stronger
|
| Hearts they grow back stronger
|
| They will grow back meeker
|
| (And I will grow back stronger)
|
| This is the pride before the fall
|
| I’m waving my skin like a white flag
|
| Tear down your castle walls
|
| Speak now the story of us all
|
| (Bury my body) my corpse-shaped seed
|
| (Start all over, just like a tree)
|
| My bones like roots, my tongue like leaves
|
| (We'll grow back deeper)
|
| Because trees they grow back stronger
|
| Hearts they grow back stronger
|
| They will grow back meeker
|
| (And I will grow back stronger) |
