lyrics

Answers, answers everywhere, no solution found
Watch the building, now abandoned, tumble to the ground
I hear the sounds, I see the signs, but I am helpless anyway
Decaying not through nature but from wreckless escape

I ask about the wreckage, I wonder how much I've caused
I keep checking up on you, I keep feeling the loss
You paint the words that can't be said upon the city that dies
while you erase yourself so carelessly despite all of our cries

But I beg you don't crumble though I know I hurt you so
We aren't all as strong as we wish we were, we're not all made of stone
But so many care about you so much more than you could know
Oh, please stand up on your feet again, it's not your time to go

Oh, I play the major key because it's all that I can do
The words, I can not sing unless I add a brighter tune
And I can't sing on your sidewalk now 'cause it hurts to see you fall
But one day I hope you resurrect yourself and you stand above us all
