You've got nothing left to give
You've got it right
But how long can you stand tall?
When they collect all the shine
Of your brightest smile
I'll feel your ten stories fall
From blocks away
Sharp knives just chop away
Come in from the brutal sun
A spotlight's shine undone
They run out, they dismount
They fall down just like everyone
Oh they talk, how they sing,
But they don't hear just anyone
[Instrumental]
Though I've got no business asking
Could marble shine so long
When the acid is eating tomorrow away
And the flags left up are crawling down
In dark rooms,
bright lights consume
When all you've got left to love
Is living
Just to be undone
Be undone...
