Slow down These chemicals won't take you anywhere So let the smoke go down and fill the room As you look at me for something else to blame
Breathe in deep as the poison fills your lungs It's nights like these that make mornings a hope will never come So hold your breath and follow me Clockwork devices are all we'll ever be
So you do your dance obliterating everything you see And I do my best to waste it all away
This machine replicates and hums along The medication rages but the high is all the same Just a walking catasrophe now Crashing into you
So it all goes up flames erasing what will never be And we'll do it all again tomorrow
So it goes and now it's gone The life we choose is how we'll fall The way we destroy is the art of it all This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be These colors never run, they only fade in time
I've turned to see your reaction And what I thought it would be From somewhere in the distance I hear the sirens scream
Dancer, I remember the night you set this place on fire With you out there in the middle of the room Sitting pretty but you know you have
No defense, you have no defense As we both go down in flames You hold your breath and wonder why No defense, you have no defense Then you do your dance obliterating everything in sight
So it goes and now it's gone The life we choose is how we'll fall The way we destroy is the art of it all This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be These colors never run, they only fade in time
