The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen
In this carousel, the silence is so surreal
I've been misled through empty streets to the
Heart that never beats of a body that I can't keep
We're blessed with these horrors for highways
This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders
Have we lost our touch?
A light goes on
We throw our blankets aside
The scars just don't heal the same, when we collide
I'd never say that we step to the other side
To keep us from brushing shoulders
But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive
I'd never say that you make me sick, but you're
Turning all the questions to cancers
Someone call in the emergency and we'll
Peel back the dressings so we can see
The kind of things that the surgeons see
When the blood work won't give us the answers
They'll never tell us, cause they don't know whats
killing us
My heart's at a million miles an hour as we
Brace for the impact, it makes time stand still
Forcing momentum into a moment so for a
Split second, I see your face
In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile
This is a picture we'll never quite forget
The surgeons pick, they pick at my body
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
The surgeons pick, they pick at my body
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
Hold still while they pick at my body
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
Hold still while they pick at my body
They'll dance all around me
Build
Breathe your anesthetic words to slow us down.
Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home.
Chorus
