about

lyrics

I am the building’s swift collapse, and I am also cheering it on. I am the skyward soaring ashes, the remains of my glorious destruction. I blot out the sky. It’s the only way I’ll make it to the sky. For I am the devil of my own Hell, and I am burning this place down. I am the fire burning my feet, and yet I am also standing still. I am the smoke that burns in my lungs. The evidence of something greater than me. I blot out the sky. It’s the only way I’ll make it to the sky. For I am the devil of my own Hell, and I am burning this place down. Every road will lead you home except the one you never walk on. Sure, everyone deserves to burn, but is it something you have to act on? Every road will lead you home except the one you never walk on, and if you end up burning it down then we’ll just start building a new one.
