This is What We Built Lyrics by Shattered Skies

Reanimation [EP]

2011

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
