Thought that this would add up to something

Thought that steel sharpened steel with time

But while I discarded your flaws

You were just counting mine

Callouses on my skin grown in file

From the friction of my hands propping you up

Everything that's light

Grows heavy after holding it a while

Additive

Every cavity and crack

All the shards that you stack up one by one (by one, by one)

Additive

Not the love or the minutes

Just the fights, so we're finished, yeah, we're done

Just be honest, who do you root for

When you let the smallest sparks start wars?

Then from your Faraday cage

You sit back and you keep score

Additive

Every cavity and crack

All the shards that you stack up one by one (by one, by one)

Additive

Not the love or the minutes

Just the fights, so we're finished, yeah, we're done

(Stop) analyzing

Just let your mechanism fall away

(Start) compromising

Before we've nothing left to save
