Title
- there's a girl on a ledge, who's got nowhere to turn
- because all the love that she had was just wood that she burned
- now her life is on fire, it's no one's concern
- she can blame the world...or pray til dawn
- but only love...can breakerfall
- breakerfall
- yeah only love can breakerfall...fall
- it's like she's lost the invitation to the party on earth
- and she's standing outside hating everyone here
- yeah she's her own disease, crying to her doll
- but only love...can breakerfall
- breakerfall
- only love can breakerfall
- yeah...
- fall, breakerfall, love oh oh..
- can breakerfall
- ooh yeah only love can breakerfall...
- love, love, can breakerfall, fall...
- love, ooh can breakerfall...
- only love can breaker..
- it's out of my hands, making your hands meet
- stumble as it's crumbling out of reach
- it's in the cards on destiny
- your sanity in tow
- designate my luck
- ah resignate...
- this power has no roots to guide, no role...
- trust in rusted minds refused to go
- unwillingness, it's meaningless to walk away in vain
- designate my will
- ah designate my fill
- resignate
- my will is crashing, synapses flashing slow
- ah days like frame by frame, where do they go?
- yeah why fight? forget it
- cannot spend it after i go
- roll 'em high...
- throw them again...
- all gods' dice...
- monkey driven, call this living, hahah
- ah too much thought, it's overwrought, a hole
- minding yours, what's mine not yours
- will finish us off
- a-designate my life
- ah designate my view
- ah resignate my will, my will, my will, i will
- resignate my god
- the sirens scream wanton attention
- time to take heed and change direction
- time to take stock and make omissions
- evacuation
- evacuation
- time to take leave of formal functions
- time to plant seeds of reconstruction
- more time, this time, to feign reluctance
- it's like you're waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way
- bets put aside, you're evil
- let's crawl into your face
- a vision, vague or not, raising a frightful wake-you-up
- time for...
- evacuation
- evacuation
- evacuation
- there was a solemn man who watched his twilight disappear
- (in the sand)
- altered by a fallen eagle, a warning sign..
- (sign)
- he sensed worry could be strength, with a plan he said time for...
- evacuation
- evacuation
- evacuation
- i've used hammers made out of wood
- i have played games with pieces and rules
- i undeciphered tricks at the bar
- but now you're gone, i haven't figured out why
- i've come up with riddles and jokes about war
- i've figured out numbers and what they're for
- i've understood feelings and i've understood words
- but how could you be taken away?
- and wherever you've gone
- and wherever we might go
- it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
- your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
- we were but stones, your light made us stars
- with heavy breath, awakened regrets
- back pages and days alone that could have been spent, together..
- but we were miles apart
- every inch between us becomes light years now
- no time to be void or save up on life
- you got to spend it all..
- and wherever you've gone
- and wherever we might go
- it don't seem fair...you seem to like it here
- your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
- we were but stones, your light made us stars
- and wherever you've gone
- and wherever we might go
- it don't seem fair...today just disappeared
- your light's reflected now, reflected from afar
- we were but stones, your light made us stars
- don't feel like home, he's a little out...
- and all these words elope, it's nothing like your poem
- putting in, inputting in, don't feel like methadone
- a scratching voice all alone, there's nothing like your baritone
- it's nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it's home
- the little that he sees, is nothing he concedes, it's home
- one uninvited chromosome, a blanket like the ozone
- it's nothing as it seems, all that he needs, it's home
- the little that he frees, is nothing he believes
- saving up a sunny day, something maybe two tone
- anything of his own, a chip off the cornerstone
- who's kidding, rainy day
- a one way ticket headstone
- occupations overthrown, a whisper through a megaphone
- it's nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it's home
- the little that he sees, is nothing he concedes, it's home
- and all that he frees, a little bittersweet, it's home
- it's nothing as it seems, the little that you see, it's home...
- there's a light when my baby's in my arms
- there's a light when the window shades are drawn
- hesitate when i feel i may do harm to her
- wash it off cuz this feeling we can share
- and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
- byzantine is reflected in our pond
- there's a cloud but the water remains calm
- reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass
- even out, it's a precious thing to bear
- and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
- yes i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
- it's not in my past to presume
- love can keep on moving in both directions
- how to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on together
- taking on, on, on, on, on...taking on, on, on, on, on...
- there's a light when my baby's in my arms
- and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
- and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
- and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
- yes i know she's reached my heart...
- all in all, it's no one's fault
- excuses turn to carbon walls
- blame it all on chemical intercourse
- the swallowed seeds of arrogance
- breeding in the thoughts of ten thousand fools that fight irreverance
- the full moon is dead skin
- the one down here's wearing thin
- so set are the ten pins as the human tide rolls in
- like a ball that's spinning
- bombs dropping down
- overhead, underground
- it's instilled...to wanna live
- bombs dropping down, please forgive
- our hometown in our insignificance
- turn the jukebox up he said
- dancing in irreverance
- play c3, let the song protest
- the plates began to shift
- perfect lefts come rolling in
- i was alone and far away, hey..
- when i heard the band start playin'
- on the lip...late take off
- bombs dropping down
- overhead, underground
- it's instilled...to wanna live
- bombs dropping down, please forgive
- our hometown in our insignificance
- feel like resonance of distance
- in the blood...the iron lies
- it's instilled...
- to wanna live
- bombs dropping down, please forgive
- our hometown in our insignificance
- oh in our insignificance
- oh he deals em off, off the top, ties em off
- fills it up, with his past, gets carried away
- oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away
- of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl
- oh he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy
- how he makes his getaway
- how he makes his getaway
- oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
- fills his night, with the thought, of a girl
- how he makes his getaway
- how he makes his getaway
- how he makes his getaway
- have a drink they're buying
- bottom of, bottle of denial
- big guy, big eye, watchin me
- have to wonder what it sees
- (sin...)
- progress laced with ramifications
- freedom's big plunge
- pull the innocent from a crowd
- raise the sticks then bring em down
- if they fail to obey
- oh if they fail to obey
- for every tool they lend us
- a loss of independence
- i pledge my grievance to the flag
- cause you don't give blood then take it back again
- oh we're all deserving something more
- progress, taste it, invest-it-all
- champagne breakfast for everyone
- break the innocent when they're proud
- raise the stakes then bring em down
- if they fail to obey
- oh if they fail to obey
- pledge your grievance to the flag
- aw c'mon, don't give blood then take it back again
- oh we're all deserving something more
- (have a, have a, drink, drink...)
- (have a, have a, drink, drink...)
- i want to breathe
- follow the scene
- i want to taste
- everyone i see
- i want to run when i'm up high
- i want to run into the sea
- i only want life to be...
- i just want to be...
- i will feel alive as long as i am free...
- all my rivals will see what i have in store, my gun...
- i've been harboring fleets in this reservoir, red sun...
- and this nation's about to explode
- your disciples are riddled with metaphors, well hung...
- better pony up and bring both your barrelfulls, not one...
- as we release this unspeakable toll...
- (every grain of sand equals)
- (all the stars and everyone)
- how's our mother to damn these contributors...with mud?
- how will the man who made chemicals difficult...shed blood?
- how's our father supposed to be told?
- routine was the theme, he'd wake up and...wash and pour himself into uniform
- something he hadn't imagined being...
- as the merging traffic passed, he found himself staring, down, at his own hands..
- not remembering the change, not recalling the plan, was it...?
- he was okay, but wondering about wandering
- was it age? by consequence? or was he moved by sleight of hand?
- mondays were made to fall, lost on a road he knew by heart
- it was like a book he read in his sleep, endlessly...
- sometimes he hid in his radio, watching others pull into their homes
- while he was drifting...
- on a line, of his own, off the line, on the side
- by the by, as dirt turned to sand, as if moved by sleight of hand
- when he reached the shore of his clip-on world
- he resurfaced to the norm
- organized his few things, his coat and keys...
- any new realizations would have to wait til he had more time, more time...
- time to dream, to himself
- he waves goodbye, to himself
- i'll see you on the other side...
- another man...moved by sleight of hand...
- sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette
- thinks he'll get the girl, he'll only get the mechanic
- what's missing? he's living a day he'll soon forget
- that's one more time around, the sun is going down
- the moon is out, but he's drunk and shouting, putting people down
- he's pissing, he's living a day he'll soon forget
- counts his money every morning
- the only thing that keeps him horny
- locked in a giant house, that's alarming
- the townsfolk, they all laugh
- sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent
- seems the more you make, equals the loneliness you get
- and it's fitting, he's barely living, a day he'll soon forget
- that's one more time around, there is not a sound
- he's lying dead clutching benjamins, never put the money down
- he's stiffening, we're all whistling
- a man we'll soon forget
- behind her eyes there's curtains...
- and they've been closed to hide the flames, remains...
- she knows their future's burning, but she can smile just the same, same...
- and though her mood is fine today
- there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
- standing, like a statue
- a chin of stone, a heart of clay, hey...
- and though he's too big a man to say
- there's a fear they'll soon be parting ways
- drifiting away, drifting away, drifting away...
- drifiting away, drifting away, drifting away...
- [Instrumental]
