(Believe what you hear
Not what you see
Smiling... complacent...
I... I think not...)
(Through the air)
It coats our lungs, it lines our throats
(Glowing burns)
Never seems to wash away
(Embedded)
In glass that's blown beneath the skin
(Breaking down)
Don't let us rest, don't let us
Sleep through another year
The dust burns
(IT BURNS)
(Believe what you hear
Not what you see)
(Churning mess)
The warning signs all twist and turn
(Flash, flash, flash)
The TV spits and screams and laughs and winks
(Splintering)
The panic spinning round again
(Breaking down)
Don't let us breathe, don't let us
See a thing
Watch it all turn back and forth and
(back and forth and back and forth and)
Breathe out
Lungs are full of cobwebs pulling
Up the earthbound quicksand
Brick and mortar impact
Short term, long term
Numbers all the same
Now the dirt caked deep in the lungs
No relief in coughing it up
Smog settles here
Kept it all unclear
When the clouds funnel towards the ground
Threw everything around
There's a hole in the roof and it's pulling me through
Not sure if I'm coming back
The pain of doubt with the quick teeth in my mouth
(I'm afraid of the ending
Live in fear of the pending
A year staring into a screen)
Revelation retreats to cliche
We fall in place
Smiling, complacent (I think not)
(The connection is fading
How long are we waiting?)
