Failure breeds frustration in me
I'm not the only one
Years of life burned around me
The damage has been done
I blame myself
No one else
The choices were my own
And now I can't remember
Remember my way home
Chorus:
Build it up, tear it down
The hard way
Stack it up, burn it down
The hard way
Fear the fuel that grips me
Digging my own grave
I know that time heals nothing
And I will never change
Stripped and burned of all my pride
A monument of shame
Reaching out for nothing
Slicing at my veins
Chorus:
Build it up, tear it down
The hard way
Stack it up, burn it down
The hard way
Build it up, tear it down
The hard way
Stack it up, burn it down
The hard way
Lead
Now forever falling
Never learning, growing old
Once I knew the way to get back
Once I had a soul
Still a slave to the past
Carried like a cross
Speak to me of anger
Dignity and loss
Chorus:
Build it up, tear it down
The hard way
Stack it up, burn it down
The hard way
Build it up, tear it down
The hard way
Stack it up, burn it down
The hard way
