This Is What We Built - Shattered Skies

To see it collapse, feels like it’s falling on me

The dust it settles on those moments

Standing up there, surveying your work triumphantly

Absence of regret chills me so

Time, so much time

Passes by

Yet still I

Stand and wait

Screaming across the years

A shot fired long ago that rings still in my ears

In my heart

What we built

Fell apart

Chastising, pain rising, still lying, what am I trying to do?

No bridge to rebuild with you

I crawled through rubble, clambering at what I could

Trying to put this back together

Walking away, you could not leave without one last look

Oh please, tell me that’s not a smile

Lies, all those lies

Yet still I

Still I tried

Here I lie

Screaming now in my face

Memories, images, you now strive to erase

Watch the flames as they rise

Truth courses through me now, through the fire in your eyes

I now see free of guilt

So now let’s take a look, for this is what we built

What we had

And are you

Even sad?

Wash me away, free yourself of me, what was I trying to do?

I burn these bridge with you

Burn
