Built To Fall (Live, Chapman Studios) Lyrics
Trivium
Lyrics
You are a cancer spreading its wings
So selfishly unaware to the things
Your existence is doing to my well being
I feel my heart leaking
Start as a fissure, a crack in the skin
Become an ulcer permeating
If I had known all that you'd do
Would it hasten what I do to you?
I don't want to hate you, but how could I not?
You killed off so much I held dear in my heart
I will bury you once and for all
You're a monster, you're built to fall
You're built to fall
It's getting harder and harder to breathe
Choking on the same air as a walking disease
You are the thing that's killing me
From the inside out, let me be
I don't want to hate you
But you killed off everything in my heart
I will bury you once and for all
You're a monster, you're built to fall
You've got your war against my head
Push that button, make it end
You've got your war against my head
You've got your war against my head
Push that button, make it end
You've got your war against my head
Push that button, make it end
I will bury you once and for all
You're a monster, you're built to fall
You're built to fall
You're built to fall
