The Unmaking

This is where the walls gave way This is demolition day All the debris and all this dust What is left of what once was Sorting through what goes and what should stay Every stone I laid for you As if you had asked me to Monument to holy things Empty talk and circling Isn't that what we're supposed to do? What happens now? When all I've made is torn down What happens next? When all of you is all thats left This is the unmaking Beauty and the breaking Had to lose myself to find out who you are Before each beginning There must be an ending Sitting in the rubble I can see the stars This is the unmaking This is the unmaking The longer and the tighter that we move Only makes it harder to let go Love will not stay locked inside A steeple or a tower high Only when we're broken are we whole What happens now? When all I've made is torn down What happens next? When all of you is all thats left This is the unmaking Beauty and the breaking Had to lose myself to find out who you are Before each beginning There must be an ending Sitting in the rubble I can see the stars This is the unmaking This is the unmaking I'll gather the same stones where Everything came crashing down I'll build you an altar there On the same ground Because what stood before Was never yours This is the unmaking Beauty and the breaking Had to lose myself to find out who you are Before each beginning There must be an ending Sitting in the rubble I can see the stars This is the unmaking This is the unmaking Oh this is the unmaking Had to lose myself To find out who you are
