[Verse 1]
We are the children you reject and disregard
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can't disown us now, we are our own flesh and blood
And we don't disappear just because your eyes are shut

[Pre-Chorus]
Now tell me
Love, loss, like a bullets path
Tear through the cavity of my chest
Lights out because the fuse has blown

[Chorus]
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control

[Verse 2]
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day that it began
'Cause it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
And it's the song I sung from the bottom of my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
That's how we
Read you like a polygraph
Not one single bone in your back
Own up to how you let us down
[Chorus]
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control

[Bridge]
Except for you and me, love
Everyone's the same
We know, we know, we know, we know
But if to live, we have to be numb
I'd rather know the pain
I'd rather know, I'd rather know

This happens almost never
But it happened once to me
And this will never be same
The ends we seam together

[Bridge]
I'm not after fame and fortune
I'm after you
When I've served my time I swear I
Will come back for you

[Chorus]
As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
Right on to ours, but I'm after you
