  • Do you feel left behind?
    Like there's something not right?
    I don't think I've been connected
    But of all the dead volcanos on Earth you just happened to retch
    And roll
    Through mine

    There were fistfuls of hair 'round the foot of my chair
    And echoes of screams before me
    But breathing out I swear you were real

    You were there
    You were there
    You were there
    For a while

    But I don't know what's real and what's going on
    And I don't wanna be here when the sky is gone
    (I just can't keep up with it, I)
    I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired
    (Nothing's good, there's something more)
    I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired

    It was somewhere to wink
    It was slipped in my drink
    A necropolis for the taking
    But all the cities fall into war and there's nothing but knives
    and fears
    and forks

    Seems the more I find out, the more I'm sure of it girl
    And baby I get the feeling, there's somewhere darkened over it
    And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothin')
    And it's here (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothin')
    And it's here for a while (I feel it coming, one, one step from nothin')
    (I-I, I-I)

    But I don't know what's real and what's going on
    And I don't wanna be here when the sky is gone
    (I just can't keep up with it, I)
    I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired
    (Nothing's good, there's something more)
    I don't wanna think about it all, I'm tired

    But I can hear them plunderin' the streets at night
    You never shoulda told them what you had inside
    And I don't want my children in an endless race
    And I don't wanna wait to see what else they take
    (So far I'm in love with you, I'm)
    And all that matters now is that we don't let go
    (And I can tell they're watching for it)
    And you can be my wonder in my town of woe
    (Time to let the genie out)
    If it's gonna happen let it happen now
    If it's gonna happen let it happen now!
