where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to form
crop circles in the carpet
sinking feeling

spin me round again
and rub my eyes
this can’t be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first

oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before
the takeover the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life

hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (oh, you won’t catch me around here)
blood and tears (hearts)
they were here first

mmm whatcha say,
mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
mmm whatcha say,
mmm that it’s all for the best?
of course it is
mmm whatcha say?
mmm that it’s just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?

oh, what did she say?

All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start
All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start

If there’s anyone near when we collide
We throw them in the middle, they can pick sides

As the plans turn into compromise
The promises all turn to lies
The spite builds up and I can’t get through
Passive me, aggressive you
I know I nag, I moan, I know
But with a plan like this it’s way too slow
In the time it took to get this bad
I could have made this work but all I had
Was the hope that pieces would take shape
And we could watch them all fall into place

All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start
All of this is tearing us apart
I don’t know where us or this start

your body aches
playin’ your guitar, sweatin’ out the hate
the days and the nights all feel the same

your heart’s on the loose
you rolled them sevens with nothin’ to lose
this ain’t no place for the weary kind

this ain’t no place for the weary kind
this ain’t no place to lose your mind
this ain’t no place to fall behind
pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
