Pillars

[Verse 1]
After all of the storms
Are come and gone
I can’t really be sure
This is my pillar to stand on

[Verse 2]
'Cause I’ve watched it crumble and fall
Right at your feet
And there aren’t enough turns in the world
To force these paths to meeting

[Chorus 1]
I can’t breathe
So open a window
It’s freezing
So close it again

You say, "It hurts when I do this"
I say, "So why do that?"
This silence is killing me
But it isn’t as hard as the fall

[Verse 3]
So what do I do?
I guess I just wait
‘Cause trying to force time
Is, is just tempting fate

[Verse 4]
I am reasonably sure
There’s no easy solution
And I have never been good
At conflict resolution

[Chorus 1]
I can’t breathe
So open a window
It’s freezing
So close it again

You say, "It hurts when I do this"
I say, "So why do that?"
This silence is killing me
But it isn’t as hard as the fall

[Verse 5]
There’s a stillness here now
A curious sort of quiet
And my only strength left
Is the comfort in leading the riot

[Verse 6]
And I can’t make you believe
In gods I haven’t respected
Not until my own certainty
In the fates has resurrected

[Chorus 2]
I can’t breathe
So open a window
It’s freezing
So close it again

You say, "It hurts when I do this"
So why in the hell would you do that?
This silence is killing me
But it isn’t as hard as the fall

[Outro]
This my pillar to stand on
And I don’t know, I don’t know, I don't know if it's real
This is my pillar to stand on
This is my pillar to stand on
