4 Horsemen

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The wallpaper is peeling in the hall
And I’m tracing the cracks where the plaster decided to fall
You left the door swinging, a ghost of a breeze
While I’m shaking here, praying on my rusted knees
You didn’t use a hammer, you didn’t use a blade
Just a few quiet words and the foundation started to fade
I was a cathedral, I was a spire of gold
Until you found the hairline fracture, the part that couldn't hold.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m still memorizing the map of your palm
The center of the storm, the eye of the calm
I’m a ruin now, a sight for sore eyes
Watching the smoke climb into your summer skies.
(Chorus)
So go on, tear me down
Brick by brick, till there’s nothing left of the town
Strip the wiring, bleed the pipes dry
Leave me open-roofed under a hollowed-out sky
You ripped through the marrow, you tore through the grain
And the only thing left is the ghost of the pain
My only crime was the way that I clung
To a love that was poison on the tip of your tongue.
(Verse 2)
There’s a strange kind of silence when the ceiling hits the floor
There’s a strange kind of silence when the ceiling hits the floor
I don't even remember what I was fighting for
You treated my heart like a project to raze
A slow-motion demolition in a chemical haze
I was your playground, I was your waste
A bitter-sweet memory, a copper-wire taste
And the worst part is the way that I miss the wreck
The feeling of your fingers tightening around my neck.
(Bridge)
(Heavy distortion, slowing tempo)
I’m not a man, I’m a blueprint of loss
Counting the wreckage, calculating the cost
You didn't just leave—you erased where I stood
Turning my sanctuary into kindling for wood
Now I can’t get you out, you’re a stain on the wall
The sound of the crash, the thrill of the fall.
(Guitar Solo - Aggressive, chaotic, transitioning into a melodic peak)
(Chorus)
Tear me down!
Brick by brick, till there’s nothing left of the town
Strip the wiring, bleed the pipes dry
Leave me open-roofed under a hollowed-out sky
You ripped through the marrow, you tore through the grain
And the only thing left is the ghost of the pain
My only crime was the way that I clung
To a love that was poison on the tip of your tongue.
(Outro)
(Slowing down, stripped back to just a guitar)
Just a pile of dust...
Just a handful of rust...
You can't get me out of your head
Now that I'm broken
Now that I'm dead
Tear me down.
Tear me...
Down.
