You tear him down, then lift him up
You give him passage 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 death
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
