lyrics

We lay upon the floor,
Resigned to silent company,
The television murmurs through the wall.

Across the yellow dawn,
The particles are tumbling,
We crumpled like a cavity,
And drifted when the stitches came undone.

And innocence collapses,
And fools us all until we fall.
Oh, it collapses,
And fools us all.

You told me that you'd thought,
Of voyages to galaxies,
A graduate in make-believe,
It's not the monsters you've been running from.

And as you dance alone,
I wonder what you'd do to me,
A familiar kind of jealousy,
Sprayed across the fields a perfect frost.

And innocence collapses,
And fools us all until we fall.
Oh, it collapses,
And fools us all.

I'm sure I heard your voice amidst
Protests for the environment,
But desperation surged for you to turn.

Even though those days have paled away
To insignificance,
Desperation yearned for you to turn.
Could we return?
