cause i know that time has numbered my days
and ill go along with everything you say
but ill ride home laughing look at me now
the walls of my town they come crumbling down
and my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
and i know their choices color all ive done
but ill explain it all to the watchmans son
i never lived a year better spent in love
hook
’cause i know my weakness know my voice
and i believe in grace and choice
and i know perhaps my heart is farce
but ill be born without a mask
woo
like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
i stretch my arms into the sky
i cry babel babel look at me now
then the walls of my town they come crumbling down
you ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
as all we see will slip into the cloud
so come down from your mountain and stand where weve been
you know our breath is weak and our body thin
press my nose up to the glass around your heart
i shouldve known i was weaker from the start
youll build your walls and i will play my bloody part
to tear tear them down
well im gonna tear tear them down
hook
’cause i know my weakness know my voice
and i believe in grace and choice
and i know perhaps my heart is farce
but ill be born without a mask
