[Verse 1] Tear it down Tear it down Steel teeth in the walls tonight I bit the iron like the bite Rust blooming on my tongue Something feral, something young The machine hums my given name Nothing sacred, nothing tame [Chorus] Let it rot Let it rot I am the ruin you built I am the ruin you built Brick by brick, I come apart Brick by brick, I come apart Tear it down Tear it down [Verse 2] Scrape the paint off every light Ghost a tune and soul and night Cold, cruel, mortal, chrome prayer No god answers anywhere I claw out of the hollow ground Screaming loud without a sound [Chorus] Let it rot Let it rot I am the ruin you built I am the ruin you built Brick by brick, I come apart Brick by brick, I come apart Bleed the signal, bleed the line Bleed the static from my spine Cut me open, let me go Cut me open, let me go [Chorus] I am the ruin you built I am the ruin you built Brick by brick, I come apart Brick by brick, I come apart [Bridge] Bleed the signal, bleed the line Bleed the static from my spine Cut me open, let me go Cut me open, let me go [Chorus] I am the ruin you built I am the ruin you built Brick by brick, I come apart Brick by brick, I come apart [Outro] Tear it down Tear it down Tear it down
