The Sound of Symmetry

The veil is drawn Dim lights in blue and red, crawl up from the cracks As I heard the words you said You said "Don't go! This place is dangerous they're hunting down, tired souls" But I'd packed my things and left without one word For you darling, I'll dearly miss Don't dare betray me with a kiss And you can't let go cause... This is our last dance baby, give flesh and bones to this As snakes, we shed our skin, and begin to part with it As if I hadn't told you yet, never trust a Southern boy For my smile is sweet, and my accent endearing All the while it's your heart I will be stealing This is the part where regret will get you Haunted how he could somehow forget you Ever danced like you meant it Our bodies burned, yeah, you felt it All the while, all alone Must have known you were losing control of it Now you're face down, in the stars that back our story's sky If you could even move, much less breathe Then we could dance and not just tease As one flinch brings us closer You know... This is our last dance baby, give flesh and bones to this As snakes, we shed our skin, and begin to part with it Did someone hear your last words? Forgive you all your sins? No, cause I left no witnesses nor, a single fingerprint Tune in, turn on, veer off, and drop out My siren satellite you're circling the stage As if I hadn't told you yet, never trust a Southern boy For my smile is sweet, and my accent endearing All the while it's your heart I will be stealing

How trails of thoughts are lost inside the pause around you This is the sound of symmetry, between the ground, and gravity Standing high, looking down at city lights In the making of an emergency, I'll turn around and walk away Did you think I would let you leave? In the making of this emergency, I'll turn around and walk away Well 40 stories never looked so fun Learn to fall with me Take a chance don't forget to jump Close your eyes and breathe I'll eat you alive, if you haven't got the timing right You will be all mine, I'll hunt you down I stood and watched you define betrayal, I'm right here You tell me what you want but never what you need, give me a sign Cause I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to say it's okay You show me what you want but never what you need, give me a sign Cause I'm not afraid Well 40 stories never looked so fun Learn to fall with me Take a chance don't forget to jump Close your eyes and breathe I'm right here Through the glass I hide behind You dream of things you'll never find I'm right here You haven't a clue who I am But I know you all too well Standing high, looking down at city lights In the making of an emergency, I'll turn around and walk away Did you think I would let you leave? In the making of this emergency, I'll turn around and walk away

Take aim on treacherous waters Now comes the feeling of panic and dread Digital artifacts have replaced the sky Now hold on tight, and close your eyes A memory will last you a lifetime White lace and cigarettes, what an alarming concoction It picks apart the fabric of my brain Now it's a simulated excuse To try and solve the things that I have left unexplained Through perilous moments, trial and error We'll try to find another hero for the day Please don't expect me, know that you shouldn't To change around my ambidextrous ways Look to the sky, at the LED lights They're looking at you Well my emotions weigh more than diamonds could ever compare Trust me it's a circumventing issue at last It's become a maritime nightmare, drifting for days Inhale for air is salvation See each day like blinding lights Breathe deep and know this moment won't be slipping Won't be slipping, won't be slipping, always slipping away
