lyrics

v1: as we arrive in full attire i feel that breeze
it's all insane, the air warns me
inside a spectacle, gaudy dancing, champagne bowls
feet dragging i watch the scene unfold

bar lamps flicker, shadows storm around the hall
shaped by potted plants and golden chandeliers
i'm handed my first glass and sputter a toast to the past
back when intentions were more clear

c: jump in, we're headed for disaster, it's so plain to see
ballroom shaking, shaking faster, can you believe me now
drive me up the wall, throw a brick on that gas pedal
i wanna see beyond these ceilings

v2: safe inside the crowd i'm looking for a line
out on the street, who knows who you'll meet
bright landslides, ice is dripping down my spine
i'm ready to drown in this sea of faces

c

b: noisy room, lights and sounds, it all come crashing, crashing down
noisy room, lights and sounds, it all come crashing, to the ground
you are a fog, a natural disaster, can't believe i am fading faster
noisy room, lights and sounds, it all come crashing, crashing down...

c
