Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A prince in practice moans
For the attention that he wants
But most this town won't even dignify
His ignorance with a response
Left to a crowded foster home
By a fifteen-year old mom
Never been held in anyone's arms
When you never been moved
It's really hard to move on
[Verse 2]
A young saleswoman sets up
Shop when the sun sets
She'll make your wildest dreams come true
At a price you won't forget
The sadly married set up alibis
No harm, no regret
Hopin' they meet an angel in bed that
Could wrestle the devil right out of their heads
[Verse 3]
This city runs fast, no one has time
To sit with themselves
No time to look into our pain
Or see the same despair in everyone else
It's here, it's there, it's everywhere
Tears soak each card the dealer's dealt
But time taught me how to see
Every second as heaven even though
They're perfectly disguised as hell
[Verse 4]
And I refuse to let past
Bruises cover the light
It ain't all good, but it's all good enough
So, I know I'm alright
Agony is truth
It's our connection to the living
I accept it as perfection
And keep on existing in the
[Verse 5]
Now, I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me, I won't let it make me frown
I'm fallin', but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
[Verse 6]
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me, I won't let it make me frown
I'm fallin', but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
[Verse 7]
Ear to ear, as if that's all I'm here for
Despite the wars founded by the rich
Funded by the poor
Kids barely 18 are dyin'
So billionaires can make more
Elsewhere, hungry mothers watch
Their babies starve to death
In a beat-up shack on a dirt floor
[Verse 8]
The aged professor quotes
Freedom's without a path
Now, he dresses like a widow
And preaches love is dead in every class
But curiosity killed the cat
And taught the dog in him how to act
And it burned its bridge to Jill
So he tries to drown the guilt
With a bottle of Jack
[Verse 9]
Self proclaimed rebels say
We must oppose the system
You gotta take a stand
If you're not again't them, you're with 'em
Signs read, support the troops
Bring 'em home, no more innocent victims
But when a homeless veteran asks
For spare change, you're too busy
Protestin' to even listen
[Verse 10]
And I'm no different
I live in conflict and contradiction
But it can be so beautiful when
I don't reject what lies within
It's beautiful the way agony
Connects us to the living
I think of the world when I hurt
And keep on existing in the
[Verse 11]
Now, I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me, I won't let it make me frown
I'm fallin', but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
[Verse 12]
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me, I won't let it make me frown
I'm fallin', but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
[Verse 13]
Now, I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me, I won't let it make me frown
I'm fallin', but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
[Verse 14]
I can only build if I tear the walls down
Even if it breaks me, I won't let it make me frown
I'm fallin', but no matter how hard I hit the ground
I'll still smile
