walking around with your head bent down
complacent in a sedated state
i wanted to hear what you had to say
but there was too much talking over each other
a break in the tide when the fighting starts
power's down and the town goes dark
when words fail we scatter
always someone else's scheme
when the world falls apart
from the core to the seams
all the way in and totally gone
the panic button is dead to me now
changing your shape in your overcoat
but somehow you manage to stay afloat
and avoiding the eyes that stay well hid
surrendered the words while the lovers leap
out of the fray and into the infinite
always someone else's scheme
when the world falls apart
coming together from all of the corners tonight
from the core to the seams
from the threads that we seek
a break in the tide when the fighting starts
power's down and the town goes dark
when words fail we scatter
always someone else's scheme
when the world falls apart
coming together from all of the corners tonight
from the core to the seams
from the threads that we keep
