Yeah
We built it up,
just to watch it break
I put my back against the concrete wall
Promised they would never see me fall
Scraped my knuckles on the iron gate
Fighting every shadow of my fate
But the wind is cold,
the ground is thin Tell me where does the war end and
I begin?
And I held the crown up high Underneath a heavy sky But
it slipped right through my hands (down to the dirt)
I fought the whole world just to lose it all (just to
lose it all) I climbed the highest peaks to watch the kingdom
fall (watch it fall) Now I'm standing in the rubble,
empty hands Writing stories in the shifting sands
Every victory was just a ghost
Losing everything I wanted most
Stacking gold up on a fragile shelf
Turns out the enemy was just myself
Now the silence is a heavy weight
Standing lonely at the final gate
I fought the whole world just to lose it all (just to
lose it all) I climbed the highest peaks to watch the kingdom
fall
(watch it fall) Now I'm standing in the rubble,
empty hands Writing stories in the shifting sands
Nothing left to hold
(nothing left) Story has been told
(watch it fall)
