Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The cycle repeated

As explosions broke in the sky

All that I needed

Was the one thing I couldn't find

[Verse 2]

And you were there at the turn

Waiting to let me know

[Verse 3]

We're building it up

To break it back down

We're building it up

To burn it down

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 4]

If colors conflicted

As the flames climbed into the clouds

I wanted to fix this

But couldn't stop from tearing it down

[Verse 5]

And you were there at the turn

Caught in the burning glow

And I was there at the turn

Waiting to let you know

[Verse 6]

We're building it up

To break it back down

We're building it up

To burn it down

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 7]

Told me yes, held me high

I believed when you told that lie

I played soldier, you played king

Struck me down when I kissed that ring

You lost that right to hold that crown

Built you up but you let me down

So when you fall, I take my turn

Fan the flames as your blazes burn

[Verse 8]

And you were there at the turn

Waiting to let me know

[Verse 9]

We're building it up

To break it back down

Building it up

To burn it down

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 10]

When you fall, I take my turn

Fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 11]

When you fall, I take my turn

Fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can't wait to burn it to the ground

[Verse 12]

(Thank you)

(Man, you guys are fucking awesome)

(You know, we have the best fans in the world)

(I say it all the time because it's fucking true)
