Slow down

These chemicals won't take you anywhere

So let the smoke go down and fill the room

As you look at me for something else to blame



Breathe in deep as the poison fills your lungs

It's nights like these that make mornings a hope will never come

So hold your breath and follow me

Clockwork devices are all we'll ever be



So you do your dance obliterating everything you see

And I do my best to waste it all away



This machine replicates and hums along

The medication rages but the high is all the same

Just a walking catastrophe now

Crashing into you



So it all goes up flames erasing what will never be

And we'll do it all again tomorrow



So it goes and now it's gone

The life we choose is how we'll fall

The way we destroy is the art of it all

This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be

These colors never run, they only fade in time



I've turned to see your reaction

And what I thought it would be

From somewhere in the distance

I hear the sirens scream



Dancer, I remember the night you set this place on fire

With you out there in the middle of the room

Sitting pretty but you know you have



No defense, you have no defense

As we both go down in flames

You hold your breath and wonder why

No defense, you have no defense

Then you do your dance obliterating everything in sight



So it goes and now it's gone

The life we choose is how we'll fall

The way we destroy is the art of it all

This portrait illustrates what you made me out to be

These colors never run, they only fade in time
