Build Me Up, Break Me Down (A Dramatic Turn Of Events, 2011)
Today I will be a savior, tomorrow a demon You crave my erratic behavior, and watch my every move
Obsession at all costs, you’ll be the death of me Broken and torn apart, why can’t you let me be?
You build me up, you break me down Until I’m falling to pieces I crash and burn, I never learn I’m your guilty addiction
BUILD! ME! UP! BREAK! ME! DOWN!
(Today… a savior… ) Tonight I am the new Messiah, you deify When I’m no longer desired I’ll be crucified
The one who’s free from sin, the first to cast the stone Fighting a fear within, I won’t be left alone
You build me up, you break me down Until I’m falling to pieces The price I pay to live this way And the fantasy stays alive I can’t live up, I can’t let down And leave you falling to pieces I crash and burn, I never learn I’m your morbid obsession
BUILD! ME! UP! BREAK! ME! DOWN!
You build me up, you break me down Until I’m falling to pieces The price I pay to live this way And the fantasy stays alive I can’t live up, I can’t let down And leave you falling to pieces I crash and burn, I never learn Your iconic fixation
