You catch hail storms on your tongue
"it's an acquired taste" you claim
To taste disaster but the venom kills you faster
And you've lost all sense of reason
"a million to one" you seem to say
The sun comes up to destroy another day

Don't think (don't think) it's not beating at all,
You're fine you're just paralyzed
I heard that if it's something that can't die
And be forgotten it's just not worth the pain of finding out

You tell me I've been missing out
That there's more to life than listening to the beating of my heart
You tell me I'm already gone,
But I can see the air you're breathing as it plummets to the ground

So he climbed and climbed 'til he couldn't feel his thoughts anymore
And detached himself from all of his supports
But there was no castle in the sky, just a shortness of breath
So he let himself get torn apart

I get the feeling I can feel him every time it rains
But when the sun cuts through him, just a rainbow's shadow
I never had to have a reason for the falling of the leaves
Just promise me it's not dead forever

And we crack
Right down the center and we splinter to a thousand
Pieces before we fall asleep
When we wake
We find ourselves trapped in unfamiliar bodies
So we dance to try and kill a million lying faces' time

Call out "I suppose I should've seen this comin'
But I never expected this from you"
If I am jack's obsession, you're jack's fear of intimacy
See how he breathes?
See how the air's too thick for his newborn lungs maybe now you'll understand

And now you see why he screams (and now you see why he leaves)
And now you see why he can't stop coughing up his teeth

[Spoken:]

As the door slammed shut, my fist slammed against the steering wheel
My eyes blurred and I wasn't fit to drive but I had to escape
As the volume knob spun, my speakers distorted and I started to scream
But that wasn't the last of it I walked into the house and I painted on a smile
I could feel myself accepting the ending I could feel the bile rise in my throat
I was finding ways to fight back the feelings I was finding ways to lie to save face
When all of a sudden, there was a knock at the door and just like that, I was back in the game

Don't think (don't think) it's not beating at all, you're fine you're just paralyzed
I heard that if it's something that can't die and be forgotten
It's just not worth the pain of finding out
You say that I've been missing out that there's more to life
Than listening to the beating of my heart (to the beating of my)
To the beating of my (to the beating) to the beating of my heart
