Tear this down
We sing for better days ahead
And so those of you with doubt in your hearts,
Turn to me and scream
“Tear this down”

Through the dirt and the dark I sit with this heart
And what’s left of the person I was
I don’t even know when it got this far
I don’t even know when it go so dark
Did the world move on without me while I stopped to watch the stars?
Will I claw my way out this time or have I dug myself to far?
I don’t want to live this life always questioning if I’ve lived it right
I’d rather chase the sun than let the darkness find me
I’d rather lose my mind than let my thoughts consume me
I’ve left a piece of myself behind in every city that I’ve slept
In trying to escaping this and attempting to forget
But every mile further just adds upon the weight
And every familiar face reminds me of the chances I didn’t take
I dug myself a grave just to see if I was willing to climb my self out
Did the world move on without me while I stopped to watch the stars?
Will I claw my way out this time or have I dug myself to far?
I don’t want to live this life always questioning if I’ve lived it right
I’d rather chase the sun than let the darkness find me
I’d rather lose my mind than let my thoughts consume me
Have I missed something?
Something I was too bind to see?
I cut my my ties with everything that wasn’t me
But still I can’t escape this feeling…
But still I can’t escape this feeling that there’s something that I need

I’ve been looking for all the wrong things in all the right places
How the hell do you think I found you?
How the hell do you think I found you here?
I’m a wolf in a room full of drunken sheep
So I’ll tuck my tail and I’ll hide my teeth
She’s got those highway eyes,
and frankly I could use the company tonight
I’ve been waiting for a storm to hit this side of town all night
Enter you: stage left in a red dress
And hair as black as the blood in my veins
You’ve been looking for all the wrong things in all the right places
How the hell do you think you found me?
How the hell do you think you found me here?
I’m a wolf in a room full of drunken sheep
So I’ll tuck my tail and I’ll hide my teeth
She’s got those highway eyes,
and frankly I could use the company tonight
What are lungs for if I can barely breathe?
What’s a heart worth if all it does is beat?
Sift through the dirt and you’re bound to find some gold
Here’s to seeing just how far down we can go
I’ve been looking for all of the wrong things in all the right places
How the hell do you think I found you?
How the hell do you think I found you here?
I’ve got a pain in my heart that probably won’t heal quite right
So what’s one more drink and one more mistake to get me through the night?

Take a look at these eyes
This is what truth looks like
This is what separates the dark from the light
This sullen broken landscape before us,
means nothing to me
It's as beautiful as a summer day,
as beautiful as the love I once felt
before our lungs turned black
I remember what it meant to feel
I remember
"On this road there are no Godspoken men…they have taken with them the world"
I woke from a daydream into a nightmare
and there was nothing to embrace
"If you are not the voice of God,
then God never spoke at all"
All around, the sounds of death
make themselves known;
Creeping under doorways and through subtle cracks
Theres no escaping, they'll find you where you sleep
There's no going back, if we move on
There's no letting go, if we hold on
"If you are not the voice of God, then God never spoke"
(The sounds of death, make themselves known)
But the fire in my chest will ignite these senses
and throw away everything we thought we knew of this world
and throw everything we thought we knew away
There's no going back, if we move on
There's no letting go, if we hold on

How did I let this get a hold of me?
This fear that my years keep outrunning my feet
I'm getting older but I can't help but think
the time on the clock keeps getting away from me
Feels like I'm living this life through borrowed eyes,
Just passing by on borrowed time
I need to get to where I need to be,
Stop watching lives and wishing they were mine
(I keep wishing they were mine)
Been living this life through borrowed eyes,
just passing by on borrowed time
Been living this life through borrowed eyes,
Just passing by, Just passing by
All I know is I need a change from everything that has me living this way
And maybe it was me who faded away
Or the fact that everything here stayed the same
All I know is that I need a change from everything that has me living this way
(You've got me living this way)
And I can see it in your eyes every time we say good bye
Every word soaked with lies
When you left, the old me died
Been living this life through borrowed eyes,
just passing by on borrowed time
Been living this life through borrowed eyes,
Just passing by, Just passing by
All I know is I need a change from everything that has me living this way
And as the snow falls, as it always does
I am left to walk alone, hand in hand with my ghost
How did I let this get a hold of me?
How did I let this get a hold of me?

These words are overplayed
But I will scream them ’till the death of me
Because they’re all I have left to save a part of me
I am composed of mostly ghosts that haunt me
And they remind me what I am and what I won’t be
Now all that’s left are these ghosts of you and me
And all I know is I keep making the same mistakes
I can still see you through the darkness of my days
No matter how hard I try,
I sleep most nights with shadows behind my eyes
We crashed like thunder on the waves
And I drowned our hearts in all the sickness I could save
Words held hostage to the strain
And now I’m trying to scream underwater
I am composed of mostly ghosts that haunt me
And they remind me what I am and what I used to be
Now all that’s left are these ghosts of you and me
And all I know is I won’t make the same mistakes
I can still see you through the darkness of my days
No matter how hard I try,
I sleep most nights with shadows behind my eyes
I tied these anchors to our feet and let us slip into the sea
But when the waters grew too cold and the blues had turned to black
I cut my anchor loose and I kicked so fast
These words are overplayed
But I will scream them ’till the death of me
Because they’re all I have left to save a part of me
