The Unmaking

This is where the walls gave way
 This is demolition day
 All the debris and all this dust
 What is left of what once was
 Sorting through what goes and what should stay
 Every stone I laid for you
 As if you had asked me to
 Monument to holy things
 Empty talk and circling
 Isn't that what we're supposed to do?
 What happens now?
 When all I've made is torn down
 What happens next?
 When all of you is all thats left
 This is the unmaking
 Beauty and the breaking
 Had to lose myself to find out who you are
 Before each beginning
 There must be an ending
 Sitting in the rubble
 I can see the stars
 This is the unmaking
 This is the unmaking
 The longer and the tighter that we move
 Only makes it harder to let go
 Love will not stay locked inside
 A steeple or a tower high
 Only when we're broken are we whole
 What happens now?
 When all I've made is torn down
 What happens next?
 When all of you is all thats left
 This is the unmaking
 Beauty and the breaking
 Had to lose myself to find out who you are
 Before each beginning
 There must be an ending
 Sitting in the rubble
 I can see the stars
 This is the unmaking
 This is the unmaking
 I'll gather the same stones where
 Everything came crashing down
 I'll build you an altar there
 On the same ground
 Because what stood before
 Was never yours
 This is the unmaking
 Beauty and the breaking
 Had to lose myself to find out who you are
 Before each beginning
 There must be an ending
 Sitting in the rubble
 I can see the stars
 This is the unmaking
 This is the unmaking
 Oh this is the unmaking
 Had to lose myself
 To find out who you are
