lyrics

These folded bones will hold this hull that we have founded
Well what is doubt when there is no such weight behind it?
My eyes have seen the reckoning that's held before me
It’s ours to bleed with everything that’s in our bodies
We have loved, and we have lost
Now tear it down and rebuild
Now tear it down

Find a way to rebuild what is broken
What’s fallen apart
Separate from these wounds that are open
We're stronger this way

Now I will find a reason why this ship is burning
It’s taking water and we will not be deserted
We have loved, and we have lost
Now tear it down
Pull it down and rebuild
With these hands we are wounded
We are strong enough this time

Maybe I don't need to breathe
Maybe I should just live my life like
I am dying one breath at a time
Maybe I should make believe
Saying that I can’t create
Anything worth my time
The world was really never mine
Maybe I should trade beliefs
Turning my back on all these things we’ve overcome
Maybe I don't need to breathe
Maybe I could just live my life like
I'm an echo of the obvious

Tear it, tear it down rebuild
Tear it, tear it down
Tear it, tear it down rebuild
Tear it, tear it down

Find a way to rebuild what is broken
What’s fallen apart (Fallen apart)
Separate from these wounds that are open
We're stronger this way
Find a way to rebuild what is broken
What’s fallen apart (Fallen apart)
Separate from these wounds that are open
We're stronger this way

Tear it, tear it down rebuild
Tear it, tear it down rebuild
Tear it, tear it down rebuild
Tear it, tear it down
