The Unmaking

This is where the walls gave way

This is demolition day

All the debris and all this dust

What is left of what once was

Sorting through what goes and what should stay

Every stone I laid for You

As if You had asked me to

A monument to holy things

Empty talk and circling

Isn't that what we're supposed to do?What happens now

When all I've made is torn down?

What happens next

When all of You is all that's left?This is the unmaking

The beauty in the breaking

Had to lose myself

To find out who You are

Before each beginning

There must be an ending

Sitting in the rubble

I can see the stars

This is the unmaking

This is the unmakingThe longer and the tighter that we hold

Only makes it harder to let go

But love will not stay locked inside

A steeple or a tower high

Only when we're broken are we wholeWhat happens now

When all I've made is torn down?This is the unmaking

The beauty in the breaking

Had to lose myself

To find out who You are

Before each beginning

There must be an ending

Sitting in the rubble

I can see the stars

This is the unmaking

This is the unmakingI'll gather the same stones where

Everything came crashing down

I'll build You an altar there

On the same ground'Cause what stood before

Was never YoursThis is the unmaking

The beauty in the breaking

Had to lose myself

To find out who You are

Before each beginning

There must be an ending

Sitting in the rubble

I can see the stars

This is the unmaking

This is the unmaking

Oh, this is the unmakingHad to lose myself

To find out who You are
