Lyrics
if we're collapsing
if we can't run
just pull us to the exit
cause time goes quickly
it forgets your name
take all your teeth out
place them within
a lost cause
where rocks hit bottom
cause time goes quickly
it forgets your face
as the towers became a part of the landscape
the neighbors
living under their shadow
were sometimes doubtful
sometimes tolerant
often bewildered
if we're just shapeless
if we're all high and dry
just cut the tightrope
cause time goes quickly
it forgets your name
face
name
your name
your face
