|
Out in the fields the skies crack and peel. |
|
While off in the distance the buildings collide. |
|
And down in the grass is a sea of broken glass. |
|
And remnants of lives that I used to label "mine." |
|
|
|
And I've lost my tongue and I've lost all my friends. |
|
And I can't remember if I give a damn. |
|
|
|
We peek from the edge of an old rusty bridge. |
|
Down in the water is the house where we were raised. |
|
And over where the trees and gardens used to be. |
|
Are remnants of pictures we still carry in our minds. |
|
|
|
And you've lost your mind and you've lost all your plans. |
|
And I can't quite tell if you even give a damn. |
|
|
|
The neighborhood is gone. The air reeks of smoke ash and cold. |
|
Winter's sleeping on our doorsteps. |
|
As you hum your songs, the water turn to ice above our home. |
|
So we go collect our paychecks and leave. |
|
|
|
Up comes the sun to burn everyone. |
|
And we pay the difference by peeling off our skin. |
|
And as far as we can tell, it's pretty cold in hell. |
|
But you've got your sweaters, |
|
So I'm sure you won't mind. |
|
|
|
But you've lost your heart. And you've lost all your will. |
|
You're shot full of holes, and what you hold always spills. |
|
|
|
The city's met its end. The monuments have all crashed and burned. |
|
I doubt that we'll miss them. |
|
We walk through the woods, and neither of us looks back, not once. |
|
There's nothing behind us anymore. |
|
|
|
It was all in our heads. It was all in our heads. |
|
The sky was never falling; it was all in our heads. |
|
So sleep well tonight. And dream some good things. |
|
The sky was never falling. It was all a bad dream. |
