Laid you down,
With a broken heart and a rusted crown,
But we believed in fire,
So we left you here to drown.
Dressed in white,
A mountain king in the endless night,
But we believed your lies,
As you buried us alive.
And we did our best for you,
Know it wasn't much but that's nothing new.
And we did our best for you,
We had our fingers crossed but that's nothing new.
Dawn comes slow,
The pavement's where we watched it grow,
We couldn't see it's eyes,
As it buried us alive.
Wrote us down,
Paper plates designed our fate,
So we became the fire,
And left it here to drown.
And they did their worst to you,
They had their fingers crossed hiding from view.
And we did our best for you,
I know it wasn't much but that's nothing new.
