The dusk it has fallen, the comet has crashed 
The stolen statues have lost their heads 
The great wall of china is melting in the rain 
Stacks of words are burning like Pompeii 

The fog in our bedroom was thicker than before 
I called your name and it felt like war 
And we ran with our shoes off to the pavement's end 
To the place of our birth at the end of the earth 

Helpless kiss, I'm rudderless 
How do you intend to unbreak this? 
We're a paper fleet in an arctic freeze 
On the skin of an endless open sea 

In boxes in the basement, we buried our hurt 
We were keeping score, we were saving our words 
We touched like flowers, frozen in wreaths 
We fell like stones, we were running in our sleep 

Helpless kiss, I'm rudderless 
How do you intend to unbreak this? 
We're a paper fleet in an arctic freeze 
On the skin of an endless open sea 

Happy endings are dependant on where the film is cut 
Noah's Ark and the Titanic are different scenes of the same plot 
I will not tear apart your photo, I will not desecrate your grave 
Because I know they are not responsible for the time when they were made 

Helpless kiss, I'm rudderless 
How do you intend to unbreak this? 
You're a paper fleet in an arctic freeze 
On the skin of an endless open sea
