Verse 1

Beat changes

from slow to fast

So strange i remember you

 in protest of a prayer

 and falling back from seas

 we fear to sail

 i swear i saw the shooter

 gold deep and double dare

 postmortem warnings

seem inclined to fail

Verse 2

feigning an apology

those words they

 never left your lips

those 5 years in Bermuda slide

 by like the lights of passing ships

so strange that i remember you

kneeling deep in Nietzsche’s lies

my throat was an open grave i

drank your stained glass eyes

Chorus

 and they taste like dead cathedrals

 that are crumbling beneath a

 weight ten thousand

jaded tourists

who’ve traded in their

hearts and hands for

disposable cameras

 set to document decay

 set to capture just enough of life

to catalogue the things we throw away

Verse 3

(breathing the fumes

of our machines)

 we’ve lost our way

(breathing through

television dreams)

Verse 4

if we could only see us now

if we could only see us now

Outro

 the words of the

dead ring in our ears

 but its only a lie

 the voice in your head

 brings you to tears

 but you don’t know why

the words of the

dead in our ears

 but its only a lie

 the voice in your head

 brings you tears

 but its only a lie

yes its only a lie

 isn’t it?
