[00:11.54]cuz I know that time has numbered my days
[00:14.52]And I'll go along with everything you say
[00:18.33]
[00:23.20]But I'll ride home laughing,
[00:25.13]look at me now
[00:26.19]The walls of my town,
[00:27.31]they come crumbling down
[00:29.51]
[00:34.88]And my ears hear the call
[00:36.44]of my unborn sons
[00:38.01]And I know their choices color all I've done
[00:42.04]
[00:46.60]But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son,
[00:49.59]I never lived a year better spent in love
[00:52.59]
[00:58.83]Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,
[01:02.13]so now believe in grace and choice
[01:04.69]
[01:08.00]And I know perhaps my heart is farce,
[01:11.56]but I'll be born without a mask
[01:16.30]
[01:17.11]Woo!
[01:17.88]
[01:23.49]Like the city that nurtured
[01:25.31]my greed and my pride,
[01:26.50]I stretch my arms into the sky
[01:29.94]
[01:35.12]I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
[01:38.35]Then the walls of my town,
[01:39.73]they come crumbling down
[01:42.92]
[01:46.84]You ask where will
[01:47.91]we stand in the winds that will howl,
[01:49.91]As all we see will slip into the cloud
[01:53.64]
[01:58.39]So come down from your mountain
[01:59.95]and stand where we've been,
[02:01.19]you know our breath
[02:02.95]is weak and our body thin
[02:05.82]
[02:11.50]Press my nose up
[02:13.67]to the glass around your heart
[02:16.18]
[02:18.11]I should've known
[02:20.05]I was weaker from the start
[02:22.67]
[02:24.47]You'll build your walls
[02:26.16]and I will play my bloody part
[02:28.60]
[02:29.91]To tear, tear them down
[02:34.02]
[02:34.96]Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
[02:41.24]Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,
[02:44.43]but I believe in grace and choice
[02:47.11]
[02:50.29]And I know perhaps my heart is farce,
[02:53.47]but I'll be born without a mask
