[Verse 1]
I watched you burn every bridge
Then blame the smoke for your eyes burning
You can turn out the lights and stand real still
But the world keeps turning
[Pre-Chorus]
And we all breakdown in the meltdown
[Chorus]
Are we building it up to tear it back down
Or are we spinning in place?

Are we building it up to tear it back down
Or are we spinning in place?
Does solidarity lie in the meltdown
Or is it just too late?
[Outro]
(It's all the same)
Just too late?
(It's all the same)
Is it just too late?
(And we all breakdown in the meltdown)
