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
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
(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

We're coming up slow, we're falling quickly
Your hand in mine but it's slipping day by day
Love, there is violence in this fall
I hear your whispers fading further
You touch my hand, you see how all my
Broken pieces are 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
(Smoke was pouring through the halls)
And I thought maybe we could save ourselves
But they shot us down

They shot us down
They shot us down
They shot us down
They shot us down

And I always knew that there would come a time
When I'd be filled up by my emptiness
'Cause 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 within 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 bent with departures, I don't even want my breath to leave me
Oh, but it's only weights away, slow to
Devour this ship, it's a colder place
If I stole all the pain from our souls
Could I hold till my shoulders break?
Would I fold or shake till they close the case?
For closure's sake, when I'm living in a place that we overstayed
Too high 'cause we aimed for the stars and they shot us down
Nothing but a ghost remained and that's gone

Don't stand again
