lyrics

"Leave It to Us"

Fire in the hills,
My life it spills,
Haloed in the embers it begins

It's a rising tide,
Not on our side,
Stand our ground and
we'll be washed away

Alone in our ignorance,
We left all our fingerprints

Leave it to us to ruin a good thing,
Backing ourselves against the wall,
We shouldn't be
asking what went wrong,
We should have been caring all along

Running out of room,
Help will come soon,
Stay right where you are
and say a prayer

I see a broken crown,
I can hear the sound,
A billion hungry people at our door

Maybe just for kicks,
We carry the crucifix

We build the walls to keep you out,
Or are they keeping you in?
Our own echoes to match the shouts,
Bathing in our sins

Leave it to us to ruin a good thing,
Backing ourselves against the wall,
We shouldn't be asking what went wrong,
We should have been caring all along
