(Speaking)

Ha, ha, ha, ha
(2X)

It's been a long time

Confirmation, devastation, deviation, declaration
(2X)

I've got pocketfuls of crumpled
rec-eipts
Just about enough to start a f-ire
I'll watch the past, just burn away
Put the mic stand through the amplifier
Yeah
Put the bass down bass down one time snap the neck now, drum set kick it
Kick the kick drum one time kicked in smashed up break it break u-p

See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard

Confirmation, devastation, deviation, declaration
(2X)

I've got notebooks full of misshapen w-ords
I'll never speak them anymore, no
Ten years from now, I won't know my name
Throw the microphone down on the floor, yeah

Put the guitar guitar one time
Trough the speaker, splintered broken
Throw the horns down one time one time
Smash them break them break u-p

~Chorus~
See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard
Hear the record start to skip, unsung
Feel the weight that sunk the ship, so young

The crowds recoil
Demand our survival
Fists in the air
Mouths caked with saliva
But you are the one
The spark that was sp-awned
Who picks up the pieces, and passes it o-n

~Chorus~
