Light the world on fire to watch it burn We did this to ourselves and we will never learn With cracked hands and bleeding knees Building monuments from ruin And crowns from broken fingernails I was never one to call you shallow But you were once so far from hollow Now you're empty like the rest, and we haven't seen the worst of it And she said "I'm no sinner, but I am far from a saint" Let's paint these walls again "Call me a heretic but I am a cardinal the same" Not green, not red, and not the colour of regret Sorry but selfish, and heaven so lonely In places with failed design, built by disaster So beautiful, so beautiful in disgrace We are romantics but we are heartless Hollow and homeless Nothing to no one But holy inside If I could walk on water, don't part the seas this time If I could walk on water, I'd walk offshore to die Swim back to me And believe me, I don't listen to a word you speak They called us fools when we are but dreamers They will be silent when the world lies beneath us Tread lightly, for you tread on my dreams.
