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 These holy walls are laying at our feet I guess they ought to fall eventually Now shatter the glasses we stain 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 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 clearing my throat Now everything's gone up in flames These holy walls are laying at our feet (ooh, no, no) I guess they ought to fall eventually Now shatter the glasses we stain 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 Brick by brick, it crumbles apart A smokey cloud hangs over my heart Crashing down this big brown house Built on broken ground These holy walls are laying at our feet (ooh-ooh-ooh) I guess they ought to fall eventually (yeah, yeah) Now shatter the glasses we stain 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
