We were such strange creatures, burning such a fever
|
Eager for that ether and smiling into seizures
|
We were both believers, we were big dreamers
|
The weight of this old cleaver
|
Made us grown meaner
|
All my clocks move in erratic beats
|
The clicks, the clicks, the clicks
|
The rhythm’s rising bleak
|
There’s only vertigo from these huge heights
|
Only blinded eyes from these bright lights
|
That’s how I know we are
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
Cut up, caught up, coughing up a lung
|
Brightened blaze and these flames weigh a ton
|
Can’t ignore the buzzing
|
Can’t turn down the sounds
|
Can’t soothe the stinging
|
Can’t dry out the drowned
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
Every minute forward is another into forever
|
But time heals nothing, moments serve to sever
|
Remembering December, all the pressure
|
Your displeasure, your displeasure
|
The flowers are still wilted, blossoms dried up and died
|
Tattered letters received and unsent
|
Tracing arcs, rise and descent
|
Dissent, discontent; |
changes underwent
|
First impressions worn to dust; |
we both misrepresent
|
The rain turned into steam, our stitching frayed at the seams
|
They always say that hope floats
|
But ours washed away downstream
|
What are memories on lonely nights?
|
Where is the comfort, the comfort in unyielding spite?
|
All my clocks move in erratic beats
|
The clicks, the clicks, the clicks
|
The rhythm’s rising bleak
|
There’s only vertigo from these huge heights
|
Only blinded eyes from these bright lights
|
That’s how I know we are
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
Cut up, caught up, coughing up a lung
|
Brightened blaze and these flames weigh a ton
|
Can’t ignore the buzzing
|
Can’t turn down the sounds
|
Can’t soothe the stinging
|
Can’t dry out the drowned
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
We watch the lightning break as we go down
|
There’s nothing here for us now
|
There’s nothing here for us now
|
We watch the lightning break as we go down
|
There’s nothing here for us now
|
There’s nothing, there’s nothing
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
Cut up, caught up, coughing up a lung
|
Brightened blaze and these flames weigh a ton
|
Can’t ignore the buzzing
|
Can’t turn down the sounds
|
Can’t soothe the stinging
|
Can’t dry out the drowned
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
Cut up, caught up, coughing up a lung
|
Brightened blaze and these flames weigh a ton
|
Can’t ignore the buzzing
|
Can’t turn down the sounds
|
Can’t soothe the stinging
|
Can’t dry out the drowned
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Steady as the sun, running straight into the ground
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
Blacked out, backed out, and broken down
|
And broken down
|
And broken down |
