New Foundations - Arcite

We are the architects of our own destruction

We built these walls now watch us tear them down

Now we, we stand divided

But we can be united

If we can just defeat ourselves

These walls that now surround us

Will tumble down upon us

Leaving just ruins of this cell

So why does it still feel like

We’ve got our back

Up against the wall

We’ve got our back

Up against the wall

Prisoner inside our own head

Locked up, confined, neglected

Until we chip away these walls

Then we can feel the sunlight

Dark days will fill with bright lights

We’ll push the towers as they fall

Everything is flattened to the ground

Now it’s time to lay the new foundation

Break everything

Tear it all apart

Make a brand new start

Once you’ve laid the new foundation

Build away

Rebuild your life

Sometimes starting over means breaking boulders

To find the blocks you need

And this takes time

Don’t expect the change to be instantaneous

Take the time to feel

Sometimes it’s what you need

Take the time to feel

It’s time that sets you free

Sets you free

Now the past is scattered on the ground

Now it’s time to lay the new foundation

Break everything

Tear it all apart

Make a brand new start

Once you’ve laid the new foundation

Build away

Brick by brick

Build your walls again

And cement them in

With the past outside

The inside’s there to paint

Find colour again

As the light comes in

We’re the architects

Let’s build this life again
