Fighting death is dancing with a brick wall
It never bends, it makes you feel so small
Could bang my head, you'll never be vulnerable
Yeah, fighting death is dancing with a brick wall

Tear it down, tear it down
Tear it down, down, down, down, down
Tear it down, tear it down

Lights out in the church, God, please
Cut me quick or let me leave
Baptized in the bathroom stall
It's all, it's all, it's all a brick wall

Tear it down, tear it down
Tear it down, down, down, down, down
Tear it down, tear it down

You never compromise, you never fucking think twice
I tried everything, I even tried talking nice
Nothing I ever say, nothing I say can change your mind
Acting like you decide if today I live or die

Heaven's not the place for me
God knows that I don't believe
Climbing like a rat, I crawl
It's all, it's all, it's all a brick wall

I got nowhere to go, nowhere to go but forward
Time's got us marching on like we are tiny soldiers
Now there it is, stretching from the sky to the ground
And there you are without a way to get around

Tear it down, tear it down
Tear it down, down, down, down, down
Tear it down, tear it down
Tear it down, tear it down
Tear it down, down, down, down, down
Tear it down, tear it down

Lights out in the church, God, please
Cut me quick or let me leave
Baptized in the bathroom stall
It's all, it's all, it's all a brick wall
