Broken Home

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
