You stacked the bricks for one long year
spawned the flood, exposed our fear
drowned the dream, now I'm dowsed in blood and tears
The wind, the wind is picking up
the walls have had enough
the flood ravaged us
Its gone, the sacred place I'd loved
The castle we built strong
Is all betrayal and mud
You stacked the bricks for one long year
spawned the flood, exposed our fear
drowned the dream, now I'm dowsed in blood and tears
But these walls stood for something wrong
destined to crumble
theres better things to come
And though pain was brimming inside of me
theres a silver lining in this defeat
a cleanse for the betterment, such a sweet sentiment
now you don't mean anything to me
You stacked the bricks for one long year
spawned the flood, exposed our fear
drowned the dream, I'm dowsed in blood and tears
Underwater I salvage all thats left
I long to find you drenched in your regret, your regret, your regret
You stacked the bricks for one long year
spawned the flood, exposed our fear
drowned the dream, I'm dowsed in blood and tears
