Lyrics for Song: Speed The Collapse
Lyrics for Album: Synthetica [2012]
All the way from where we came
Built a mansion in a day
Distant lightning, thunderclaps
Watched our neighbour's house collapse
Looked the other way
And then the storm was overhead
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
We auctioned off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
A comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors
Ah, ah, ah
(Faith don't fail me now)
Ah, ah, ah
And when the days that followed passed
In another mansion built to last
From our window we could see
Only possibilities
Down the road and back
But then the storm returned for more
In a comedown of revolving doors
Auction off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
A come down of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course
Second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors
Ah, ah, ah
(Faith don't fail me now)
Ah, ah, ah
Faith don't fail me now
(Ah, ah, ah)
Faith don't fail me now
(Ah, ah, ah)
Faith don't fail me now
