Skyscrapers

I never repeat gossip so listen carefully
 it means something to me the studs and joist braces
 drywall dust in our faces
 three years will make you think
 dealing with living mistakes
 harness the strength ripping down the walls
 between fun and fear
 put the plan in gear and go
 we'll make it on our own
 fake it as we go
 never had a reason
 strong enough inside I could believe in
 kind of wanted this more than anything
 three story tall skyscrapers
 there's more than one way out of the hole
 looking up growing deeper growing bold
 harness the guts tearing up the earth
 into new frontiers
 putting plans in gear we know
 we'll make it on our own
 fake it as we go
 never had a reason
 strong enough inside I could believe in
 kind of wanted this more than anything
 still have a mattress to rely on
 still have a trail to take me anywhere
 three story tall skyscrapers
 we'll make it on our own
 we'll fake it as we go
