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