Lyrics to From the Ground Up

[Verse 1]

Yesterday it rained

Watched everything wash away

It took some time to dry

Before I could feel okay

I used all my tools

Foundation of clay

You kept digging this hole

But climbing's not my forte

[Pre-Chorus]

Take what you need

We can fight our enemies

But we have to hurry before

The world crumbles around us

[Chorus]

Take my hand

We can build a land from the ground up

I don't even mind

Leaving it behind us

Watch and wait and work until it all falls down

[Verse 2]

Today the sky fell

Clouds in disarray

I put back all the blue

Before the sun could complain

There were stars everywhere

Zombies at my gate

Now that the end is near

Nothing left to do but wait

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Are we prepared?

Are we there?

Do you even care

Now I am afraid, but it's okay

The world crumbles around us
