Stand down! Stand down!   Why do you build your towers?   My best defenses   fall apart at my weakest hours   I try and I try to build these walls up to the sky   But all I have become is a walking, breathing empire of lies      Bury my body, my corpse-shaped seed    Start all over, just like a tree   My bones like roots   my tongue like leaves   Will grow back deeper   Trees they grow back stronger   Hearts they grow back stronger   They will grow back meeker   and I will grow back stronger      Wake up! Wake up   We are all on fire   We're walking torches fueled by our own desires   And I'm am no exception   I'm the perfect formulaic, failure combination   Too much confidence   Three parts desperation   I'm going to sever my head to get a different point of view      This is the pride before the fall   I'm waving my skin   like a white flag   Tear down your castle walls   Speak now the story of us all
