Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat, gets caught Broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost In trying so hard to look away from you We followed white lines to the sunset Crash my car everyday the same way Time to let this pass (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins (It starts and stops and starts and stops again) We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time to let this pass (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twilight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done I don't want to feel this way forever A dead letter marked return to sender Broken watch you gave me turns into compass It's two hands still point to the same time 12:03 Our last goodbye So push the seats back a little further I can see the headlights coming So push the seats back a little further Roll the windows down and take a breath I can see the headlights coming They paint the world in red and broken glass Time to let this pass (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time runs through our veins (It starts and stops and starts and stops again) We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Time to let this pass (The time it takes, the time it takes to let go) Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twilight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done I don't want to feel this way forever A dead letter marked return to sender Spinning hubcaps set the tempo For the music of the broken window Cameras on the cameras click We open up the lens and can't stop Staring at the setting sun No reason to come back again The twilight world in blue and white The needle and the damage done I don't want to feel this way forever Lights are on, and the cameras click We open up the lens (to broken glass) Staring at the setting sun (and it's over) No reason to come back again (in a flash) The twilight world in blue and white (and I'll never) The needle and the damage done (ever understand) I don't want to feel this way forever (understanding) A dead letter marked return to sender (in a car crash, in a car crash) In a crash

Falling from the top floor your lungs Fill like parachutes The windows go rushing by The people inside they're Dressed for the funeral in black and white These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet Filed in the cubicle Without a name, just numbers On the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete Please take these hands Throw them in the river Wash away the things they never held Please take these hands Throw me in the river Don't let me drown before the workday ends Nine to five! Nine to five! And we're up to our necks Drowning in the seconds Ingesting the morning commute Lost in a dead subway sleep Now we lie awake in our parents beds Tossing and turning Tomorrow we'll get up Drive to work Single file With everyday Just like the last Waiting for the life to start Is it always just always ahead of the curve Please take these hands Throw them in the river Wash away the things they never held Please take these hands Throw me in the river Don't let me drown before the workday ends Just keep making copies Of copies Of copies When will it end? It'll never end 'Til it gets so bad That the ink fills in our fingerprints And the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war And even in our dreams we're so Afraid the weight will offset who we are All those breaths that you took have now been cancelled in your lungs Last night my teeth fell out like Ivory typewriter keys And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea Save our ship The anchor is part of the desk We can't cut free The water is flooding the decks The memos sent through the currents Computers spark like flares I can see them They don't touch me Touch me Please someone Teach me how to swim Please, don't let me drown Please, don't let me drown

In the veins of of the ultraviolet light The phosphor is starting a fire Shooting up in the iodine It's turning on Rupture the wall around my heart I feel so lost I've been shaking You can't save me Forget what the doctor said Every bird in mid-flight Is calling out your name Before it hits the window And it sings the rapture Without a second opinion The chemicals saturate to counteract the code Through the double helix we are twisting Too scared to let this go Someone call the head nurse She's coming to the capitol To wrap us up and throw us in the dirt With a dream that's turning off Rupture the wall around my heart I feel so lost I've been shaking You can't save me Forget what the doctor said Every bird in mid-flight Is calling out your name Before it hits the window And it sings the rapture We're coming to the capitol We are coming to the capitol The distance between us will rupture Coming to the capitol In our hearts the disease won't touch us Coming to the capitol Love, now it's too late to turn this off Alone is all we are Even when we feel this close It's just a lie we believe These are the words that escape from our lungs Rupture the wall I've built around my heart I've been shaking You can't save me I'm turning off We can't find a way Out of this moment We're lost in a dark hallway

Standing on the edge of the Palisades' Cliffs In the shadow of the skyline very far away Like a lightning rod that couldn? t pull the storm from me I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died He fell from these cliffs The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars Parent? s garage listen to the lullaby Of carbon monoxide War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags If the sun doesn't rise We'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion A painted jail cell of light in the sky Like three mile island nightmares On TVs that sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away All those nights in the basement The kids are still screaming On and on and on and on War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags And we? re blowing in the wind We don? t know where to land So we kiss like little kids We used to be very tall buildings We? ve been falling for so long Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town They offer a welcome when you are leaving War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The pieces fall it? s like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage So wave to those people who long to wave back From the fabric of a flag that sang, "Love all of the time" War all the time, war all the time All of the time War all the time, war all the time All of the time, all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time War all of the time, war all of the time
