lyrics

My body is a temple,
I guess more like a house,
with all the windows smashed out.
With the bricks I've thrown,
I've built my home,
these walls will never fall.
A monument to my failure.
The sun shines through this broken glass,
scattered bricks with notes attatched.
They say the things better left unsaid,
from all the times when I felt dead.
Why can't I stop destroying myself?

The way I speak to me,
will always cease to be,
peaceful.

I don't deserve to breathe,
in light of everything.
In the darkness I can see,
I've become a beast.
I ruin everything.
I've become a beast.
I ruin everything.
I ruin everything.

(I want to rip the sun from the sky.
I want to make the earth want to die.
I want the world to burn.
I want to feel the flames inside my lungs.)

My body is a temple,
I guess more like a house,
with all the windows smashed out.
With the bricks I've thrown,
I've built my home,
these walls will never fall.
A monument to my failure.
The sun shines through this broken glass,
scattered bricks with notes attatched.
They say the things better left unsaid,
from all the times when I felt dead.
Why can't I stop destroying myself?

I found the courage inside,
to make the change in my life.
To pick up the pieces,
and do what is needed.
My mistakes have made me,
into the person I want to be,
strong enough to survive,
anything in my life.
I found love,
I found hope,
I found a better way to cope.
I found a way to overcome everything that I've done.

(These bricks I've thrown,
I've built my home.
A place that I can call my own.
Somewhere where I feel safe.
I'm finally proud of this place.
These bricks I've thrown,
I've built my home.
A place that I can call my own.
Somewhere where I feel safe.
I'm finally proud of this place.)
