Lyrics

Heart beats in a cage, in this life, oh I'll oppose
My thoughts to a melody on your mind
Notes fall in a rage, in reverse, though I'll impose
Deaf beats to a symphony left behind
So come now listen to the beat
Let's talk while the children are asleep
And the things we'll take and the things we'll break
And the house and the debts over our heads
And I'm slipping under
Yes I'm slipping under yeah
At last, the strings the past
The things I tried and the blackened mass
Bend down to form a letter
I'll write, the ink, the rasp, the maniac sleeps in the empty grasp
A song to kill the lover
So come now listen to the beat
Let's talk while the children are asleep
And the things we'll take and the things we'll break
And the house and the debts over our heads
And I'm slipping under
Yes I'm slipping under yeah
You say that life is just science
But your wits can't explain
Why we can feel, through waves of silence
And still not be insane
So come now listen to the beat
Let's talk while the children are asleep
And the things we'll take and the things we'll break
And the house and the debts over our heads ooh
And I'm slipping under
Yes I'm slipping under yeah
And I'm slipping under
And I'm slipping under
