lyrics

Tear You Down

(Verse)
It was such a surprise
When you showed up at my place
Tracking dirt on the floor
Throwing mud in my face
I coulda sworn you were gone
But you're still taking up space
Hiding out in the corners
Trying out different shapes

(Verse)
I was enjoying myself
Pretending you weren’t around
I was out shaking hands
With everybody in town
Now it’s clear that you're here
I'll keep you wearing a frown
I’m gonna make you a promise
Resolute is my vow

(Chorus)
I’m gonna tear you down
Wipe the surface clean
Keep fighting ‘til it’s ended
Keep fighting ‘til I set me free
I can take the blows-
Can you take what you got coming?

I’m gonna tear you down
I won’t leave a trace
You coulda left when I asked nicely
Woulda let you off so easily
Now, I’m rage and flame
And I’m burning through your fables
And I only stop at victory

(Bridge)
These fields are overgrown
With all the lies you’ve sown
And their roots extend to where soil meets the sea
And you can watch them burn
Each root and tree in turn
‘Cause it’ll take more than your lies to conquer me

(Chorus)

"A big middle finger goes out to fear in all its forms. We’ll not mistake your persistence for strength." - Joshua Fialkoff
