[Verse 1]
One, two, three and I'm staring at the rubble
Settled dust at the footsteps of our castle
Set in stone the words that went unspoken, yeah
Put my hand on my chest, the chain on my neck is broken

[Chorus]
These holy walls are laying at our feet
I guess they had to fall eventually
Now shattered are glasses we stained with our lips
Set off the matches to burn every brick
Please, oh please, I know that sticks and stones
Can’t build a broken home

[Verse 2]
The clock, it ticks and I'm cleaning up the remains
Gritted teeth as I'm picking up the photo frames
Candles burning and it’s such a shame
Just minutes ago I was clear in my throat
Now everything's gone up in flames

[Chorus]
These holy walls are laying at our feet
I guess they had to fall eventually
Now shattered are glasses we stained with our lips
Set off the matches to burn every brick
Please, oh please, I know that sticks and stones
Can't build a broken home
[Bridge]
Brick by brick, it crumbles apart
A smokey cloud hands over my heart
Crashing down this big brown house
Built on broken ground

[Chorus]
These holy walls are laying at our feet
I guess they had to fall eventually
Now shattered are glasses we stained with our lips
Set off the matches to burn every brick
Please, oh please, I know that sticks and stones
Can't build a broken home
