The Half-Built Frame

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the beams
Rust in the seams
I left the hammer down
Left this ghost town
The foundation is cracked
Never looking back
But the grass grew high
Under a hollow sky
[Pre-Chorus]
I see her shadow there
With flowers in her hair
The girl I used to be
Staring right at me
She holds a rusted nail
Her face is paper pale
[Chorus]
Burn the blueprints down
I’m staying on this ground
No more running now
I break the silent vow
Let the walls collapse
Fill in all the gaps
I am home at last
Shatter all the past
[Post-Chorus]
No more running
No more running
I am staying
Stop the straying
[Verse]
Termites in the wood
I did what I could
To outrun the shame
Of a forgotten name
The viola starts to swell
Like a ringing bell
In the hollow hall
Where the shadows crawl
[Pre-Chorus]
I see her shadow there
With flowers in her hair
She’s tired of the chase
In this lonely place
She drops the heavy stone
I’m no longer alone
[Chorus]
Burn the blueprints down
I’m staying on this ground
No more running now
I break the silent vow
Let the walls collapse
Fill in all the gaps
I am home at last
Shatter all the past
[Bridge]
The fuzzed-out roar
Across the muddy floor
The drums hit like lead
Waking up the dead
I am not afraid
Of the mess I made
Stop the frantic pace
Look her in the face
[Breakdown]
I stop
I stay
I won’t
Turn away
I stop
I stay
I won’t
Turn away
[Chorus]
Burn the blueprints down
I’m staying on this ground
No more running now
I break the silent vow
Let the walls collapse
Fill in all the gaps
I am home at last
Shatter all the past
[Post-Chorus]
No more running
No more running
I am staying
Stop the straying
[Outro]
