You can't undo the needle's damage

You can't unwalk a line once it's been crossed

This is why we sing such common songs

We live in a common age

Filled with the common rage



Call out, collapsing, the shadows all fall

Send out receivers to shut it off

I never feel a thing

You won't feel a thing

I never feel a thing

I feel it getting away from me now

This is common existence

This is common existence



The best laid plans turn into tragedies

The best of friends make for the worst enemies

This is why we lead such common lives

We live in the common days

Held to all the common ways



Call out, collapsing, the shadows all fall

Send out receivers to shut it off

I never feel a thing

You won't feel a thing

I never feel a thing



This is common existence

Everywhere you look, another fire is going dark

Another face is busted apart

No more existing

This is common existence

Like a paper scrap blowing down the street

It used to have meaning

Now it's incomplete

And the important parts get lost in the ink on the page

This is common existence

Everyone you know has been trying on the damage

Blowing out the candles

Thinking of a common escape from common existence



Call out, collapsing, the shadows all fall

Send out receivers to shut it off

I never feel a thing

You won't feel a thing

I never feel a thing

I feel it getting away from me now

This is common existence

This is common existence



Don't move, don't move, don't move
