Lyrics
I hit the ground standing in my pair of shoes
when I landed with no parachute
Looking up remembering the feeling of flying
And now the skyline crumbling
bridges burn in the background...
and I know how to scream but I lack sound.
No one here to hear it.
They always disappearing
when disaster was apparent
and I stayed up in this place incoherent.
Unaware that I'd been staring at them stars too long
never really gave myself the chance to move on, naw.
And now the bricks lay scattered on the pavement,
I stack and organize 'em while I'm mapping the foundation.
Determination, patience, but I'm putting 'em in place
then I get this feeling tensing up the muscles in my face
I crack a smile - And I know that I'll be at it for a while
but at least I got a plan now, blueprints in my hand
and I'm rolling up my sleeves, a little elbow grease
and optimism, yeah that's what I'm giving
No, and I'll never give in.
And I can pull it back up now,
when the world's falling down around me.
I gotta pick it back up now
when the world's falling down around me.
And I can carry the weight of the world
yeah I can carry the weight of the world on my shoulders now
I gotta build it back up now, when the world's
falling down around me.
So when the sky starts to fall
and Atlas drops the ball, I'll be
catching it from now on.
Yeah when the sky starts to fall
and Atlas drops the ball I'll be
catching it from now on
If I build it they will come
the dust clears here's the sun
And I'll be the only one for now
but I think I love it here.
Cause it's kinda peaceful,
when there ain't nothing near ya
And when it's just you, you see much clearer.
Back flashes of a past life, like it was just last night,
catching me at my most awkwardest moments.
And I try to grab these thoughts and hold 'em
when really I should just set 'em free -
Goodbye memories. And now the bricks
lay scattered on the pavement
I stack and organize 'em while I'm mapping the foundation.
Determination patience but I'm putting 'em in place
then I get this feeling tensing up the muscles in my face
I crack a smile
And I can pull it back up now,
when the world's falling down around me.
I gotta pick it back up now
when the world's falling down around me.
And I can carry the weight of the world
yeah I can carry the weight of the world on my shoulders now
I gotta build it back up now, when the world's
falling down around me.
