The center cannot hold, the side collapses
Full of broken words, sing the song inside the dark arcade
Color me in city green, the streets are winding,
spitting flames
Cars around the arteries, we scream, and swerve, and fall apart
everything we love, it falls apart
and the architect abandons us
I'll save us from the sky until a feeling burns, you try
it plants a seed of fire that flowers in the corner of your eye
circling, breathing, we'll keep them always moving
heart attack, efficiency, erase the figure as it...
...falls.
Everything we love, it falls apart
and the architect abandons us
the city shakes like tired hands
the light divides what darkness mends
our bodies echo in our plans
everything is falling apart
everything is falling apart (x4)
the wedding starts, the guests seep in
the church bells ringing endlessly
the bride and groom are hand in hand
and everything goes as its planned
the parents smile,
the priest chokes up,
the organ plays 'Amazing Grace'
and underneath the thin white veil...
...everything is falling apart
everything is falling apart (x3)
and the people sing:
"la la la la, da da da, la la la la, da da da, la la
la la, da da da daaaaaaaa" (x2)
the city shakes like tired hands
the light divides what darkness mends
and all the bodies echo in our plans
Everything is falling apart
Everything is falling apart (x4)
la la la la, da da da (x2)
