Breakdown Lyrics by This Machine Kills

Death In The Audobon Ballroom

0

Don't bother me with nonsense I don't want to hear
This radio addiction is all I really need
Sometimes that train to the center of the world is exactly where I'd rather be
And for every time that's lost, I'll be the first to blame
I thought it was all pretty stupid after all
I have reasons now to reassess my calls
Make it clear, concentrate then
Go shoot it off one more time again
Perfect the motions
I'll paint the world paint the world upside down
I saw the lights coming
So I'll paint this place all over again
Perfect the motions
I'd paint myself inside out, inside out
I saw the lights coming
Too bright to see, much too bright to see
Breakdown
Without words, articulation, no need to explain
It's so much easier by yelling
It gets easier to bury yourself in graves that you've dug down deep in the past
I'm sorry, what else could I say?
Go eat some words while I bury in the sand
Hold it up - Go eat some words and I'll bury in the sand
Hold your breath - Go eat some words and I'll bury in the sand
Until it leaves - How can we grow if I don't hold myself accountable?
Out of your control - So where did everything go wrong?
