Keep it together or keep us apart
It's the only way we'll get this to start
And we'll hold our breaths

And we'll hold our tongues

'Cause we never speak

When we lost the dream
The language of children lay dead at our feet
And we held our breaths

And we hold our tongues

If all we've got is broken thought

The empty words we carved with chalk in darkened halls
I'll leave it all behind


'Cause you never left here
We struggled to breathe
I broke all the windows

There's blood on my sleeve

And we never speak

We just close up our hearts
Wanting to open but just tearing apart
Still we held our breaths

And we hold our tongues

If all we've got is broken thought

The empty words we carved with chalk in darkened halls
I'll leave it all behind
