Oh&This; is how we do it here in towns like this: Build them up just to tear them back down to the filthy ground lower than where they started. Maybe this isn’t even about how high we built them up. Maybe its all in the way they’ll feel it after we’ve torn them all the way down, the ache inside when it all takes place, So Honey, I’ve felt it before. I’ve seen it: I wrote it: The moment you start to feel something real, is when you realize that you’re doing everything wrong.
