[Verse 1]
I'm reading what I wrote about your words
And how you sang to me
That night up on the awning
I saw love pour out of every street

And all these memories surround me
Pulling me back for more
I'm lightly fading in the background
Laying upon your shore

[Chorus]
You tore the towers down, stumbled through the room
Broke the golden vow, saw you swimming in it
My eyes were wide as hell, I saw the cancer move
Throughout your dying shell, saw you swimming in it

You thought your arms were weak, thought my hand was cruel
Couldn't see it then, saw you swimming in the flood

[Verse 2]
I remember how you moved
How you shot, how you're breaking me
I never wanna fool you
I'm swallowed up in everything
I'm writing giant words of epic works
And stories of your watery womb
The hose is burst, I sputtered out
I'm spilled across the ground for you

[Chorus]
You tore the towers down, stumbled through the room
Broke the golden vow, saw you swimming in it
My eyes were wide as hell, I saw the cancer move
Throughout your dying shell, saw you swimming in it

You thought your arms were weak, thought my hand was cruel
Couldn't see it then, saw you swimming in the flood

Saw you swimming in the flood

You tore the towers down
My eyes were wide as hell
You thought your arms were weak
I saw you swimming in the flood

[Outro]
You tore the towers down
