We said, we said, we'd never be broken,
That we'd 'always swim against the tide',
We said that we could break down all the walls that hold us in and I tried
But I am the brick layers 'son',
And I was born to make that mud.
This life will wear you down,
Until there's nothing left, but the shell of a man
So you appeal to reason, but you are not a reasonable man.
And I have, clung to my faith, but I am not a faithful man.
And these pedestals become our gallows,
it's no wonder we drown in the shallows.
We all wanna know
Where it's gone,
I've been, bending, all the promises I said I'd never break.
Weakened, weakened, By my failure, by my doubt
