Don't stand again Don't stand again And i thought maybe we could save ourselves And i thought maybe we could save ourselves I hear your footsteps in the hallway Your presence won't leave this place This house has worlds inside its walls In the back room , on the last night I heard you crying for life The smoke was pouring through the halls And i thought maybe we could save ourselves This house has worlds inside its walls And i thought maybe we could save ourselves The smoke was pouring through the halls And i thought maybe we could save ourselves But they shot us down And i thought maybe we could save ourselves Don't stand again They are coming up slow We are falling quickly Your hands in mine But slipping day by day Love , there is violence in this fall I hear your whispers fading further You touch my hand and see how my broken pieces're painted on the walls And i thought maybe we could save ourselves This house has worlds inside its walls And i thought maybe we could save ourselves The smoke was pouring through the halls And i thought maybe we could save ourselves But they shot us down They shot us down *4 They shot us down.... And i always knew that there would come a time When i'd be filled up by my emptiness Because i'm crushed under my own debris collapsing from its heaviness And i , i always swore that i would not walk off the edge of this I'd rather let it live or fight to rest with'in the death of it In the end , I won't forget the time we spent Bleeding as soldiers in the rain Where we were always safe , we now are freezing over If we breathe we'll be relieved , yeah no one said this would be easy I'm so bad with departures i don't even want my breath to leave Oh but it only wastes away slow to devour this ship It's colder place if i stole all the pain from my shoulders could i hold till my shoulders break but i fall to shake Till they close the case , for closures sake I'm living in a place that we overstate To hot'ed 'cause we aimed for the stars and they shot us down Nothing but a ghost remained and that is gone And i stand again
