You tear him down, then lift him up You give him pa**age out of this world Send him out You hold this child, then give him up If you want him to fly he'll die All these dreams we take away There will be nothing to remain Of all these dreams we take away There will be nothing to Hold on, hold on If this world falls down around me Burn it away We'll burn it away Cut your throat I watch you bleed and suffer more Every ounce of me feels alive
In the most sensitive ways Your casket carries you to d**h I will watch it as it burns away Into the ground we save Hold on, hold on If this world falls down around me Burn it away We'll burn it away Hold on, hold on The people falling down and drowning What will you say What will you say If this battle starts to break Then we'll be out of debt for one more day If we choose to stay Rip up your books We're changing the past
