Dead lights and empty bottles
Another year is hard to swallow
Let's build it up just to break it down
Let's build it up just to break it down again

Foreign lands and inner struggles
Your demands have gotten shallow
Let's build it up just to break it down
Let's build it up just to break it down again

Cut the cord, I can make it on my own

You never mattered any way
When I lost you, I found my place
But I can't get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window

Below the soil and the dirt
Are all my friends and half my heart
My family's gone and all that's left
Is this stupid song and a hole in my chest
Well, I'm still here and I'm still breathing
This half of my heart is hardly beating
She keeps repeating all that she needed
But I don't care, I like this distance

Let's build this up just to break break break it down
All my friends are gone
And they're not coming back again
