It's always darkest before the dawn.
You are the silence in between what I thought and what I said.
I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart.
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay.
My love has concrete feet,
My love's an iron ball,
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
Hold on to your heart, cause I'm coming to take it.
Hold on to you heart, cause I'm coming to break it.
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments.
I built a man made out of bricks, and lived inside his chest
I beat my head against the wall to make a heart deep in his breast
I smashed my fist against his ribs to suck the air inside
I built a man and cut his skin, and lived inside his heart
I pumped it with my fingertips, and loved it from the start
And with every beat I gave him a heartbeat of my own
And filled his veins with the blood I had
Till his blood,
Till his blood,
Till his blood,
Was my own.
