[Verse 1: Chester Bennington] The cycle repeated As explosions broke in the sky All that I needed Was the one thing I couldn't find [Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington] And you were there at the turn Waiting to let me know [Chorus: Chester Bennington] We're building it up to break it back down We're building it up to burn it down We can't wait to burn it to the ground [Verse 2: Chester Bennington] The colors conflicted As the flames climbed into the clouds I wanted to fix this But couldn't stop from tearing it down [Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington] And you were there at the turn Caught in the burning glow And I was there at the turn Waiting to let you know [Chorus: Chester Bennington] We're building it up to break it back down We're building it up to burn it down We can't wait to burn it to the ground [Bridge: Mike Shinoda] You told me yes, you held me high And I believed when you told that lie I played soldier, you played king And struck me down when I kissed that ring You lost that right to hold that crown I built you up but you let me down So when you fall, I'll take my turn And fan the flames as your blazes burn [Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington] And you were there, at the turn Waiting to let me know [Chorus: Chester Bennington] We're building it up to break it back down We're building it up to burn it down We can't wait to burn it to the ground [Outro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] When you fall, I'll take my turn And fan the flames as your blazes burn We can't wait to burn it to the ground When you fall, I'll take my turn And fan the flames as your blazes burn We can't wait to burn it to the ground
