Bastions Lyrics

We are all bastions to ourselves

They tore the rest of them down

They stormed the Bastille and raised hell

From ruins, they built these bedroom towns

Where all the roads lead nowhere home

The last house left at the end of the road

These walls keep your secrets and bury your bones

In the ground to let the garden grow

And there's no such thing as angels

All stars were made to burn

So sleep in the snow and dream of halos

All hearts were made to yearn

So let's stop waiting for our ghosts to save us

It's hopeless just praying that heartbreak won't jade us

Like cruel gods to angels, our bodies betray us

Rebuilt from the scorched earth, we sapient stardust

It's who we are

It's who we are

Salt the earth until we're dirt

Oh barren soil's all we deserve

Salt the earth until we're dirt

Salt the earth until we're dirt

Oh barren soil's all we deserve

Salt the earth until we're dirt

There's no such thing as angels

So let's stop waiting for our ghosts to save us

It's hopeless just praying that heartbreak won't jade us

Like cruel gods to angels, our bodies betray us

Rebuilt from the scorched earth, we sapient stardust

It's who we are

It's who we are

(Salt the earth until we're dirt, oh barren soil's all we deserve) It's who we are

(Salt the earth until we're dirt) It's who we are
