Speed The Collapse

Metric · 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
