Connector - A Lot Like Birds.mp3

[01:01.47]Go through solid stages not noticing me.
[01:02.31]Hands hold tightly. No one shares.
[01:03.00]Doll it up! (At the rate the paint is peeling off the wall,)
[01:06.18]We'll need to cover it! (Cover it!)
[01:06.87]Before it all falls apart! (Oh, it'll all fall apart.)
[01:14.22]Truss it up! (At the rate the skin is sloughing off our bones,)
[01:15.33]They'll need to bury us. (Bury us!)
[01:17.58]Because we all fall apart. Yeah, we all fall apart.
[01:23.88]The open mouths of these rooms are connected by a hallway, dark and narrow,
[01:26.43]That we pass through like marrow through bone.
[01:30.72]And we do it alone.
[01:33.69]I miss the point and wish I still didn't dream.
[01:39.72]A taste gone mad, a sweet sadness, my favorite feeling.
[01:45.78]The whispering walls sound like an endless corridor
[01:51.60]And at this rate, all the paint is peeling off the walls.
[01:57.15](And all I want to do is chase it) before it all falls apart
[01:59.82](down the hall made out of frozen faces.)
[02:00.84](Expressionless, eyes to the ground and lips locked tight, ever so quiet, ever so quiet.)
[02:07.08]And I never choose to taste hallucinations of what I've seen.
[02:11.55](Because I don't see the difference between chasing ghosts in dreams and chasing dreams in life.)
[02:16.68]Doll it up! All the ones still close to us,
[02:27.93]Are the ones that most of us still don't see,
[02:28.89]Still don't see the way.
[02:31.17]I would have thought that,
[02:32.28]it could be the sympathetic solution, disillusion.
[02:40.41]And if I stayed or left would you notice more or less of my existence?
[02:42.18]Out of the corner of my eye,
[02:47.88]I see the ghost stutter-stepping like strobe lights,
[02:50.34]ever-inching closer, but always out of reach.
[02:54.00]So I hold my breath and keep it under my tongue,
[02:57.24]And wait until both of my lungs are filled.
[03:03.03]If I count to ten, will it all go away?
[03:12.42]Brushed aside or pushed aside:
[03:14.46]A difference in tension, intention and force applied.
[03:20.19]Cast aside or passing by people as canvases:
[03:23.88]blank outside and bleak inside.
[03:28.50]We learned (and it caused other things asunder)
[03:29.43]to stay (and avoiding all the turmoil)
[03:30.15]out of the way of each other.
[03:41.79]Just stay out of the way!
[03:54.18]Always colliding with the things that we had tried hard to avoid we just,
[03:59.10](Bury them, close our eyes, cover it up. But what was buried managed to unlock the door even though we had boarded them, nailed them shut, hid the keys.)
[04:06.39]Will we (in for it now) ever (board up the house) find (happiness, clarity, peace of mind?
[04:19.77]Follow me down the hallway.)
[04:22.20]If I should take a fall,
[04:22.86]don't look back.
[04:23.13]Pick a door. Any door. Any door! NOW!
[04:39.42](And now we all fall apart, Now we all fall apart)
[04:42.84]And now we sit in what was built on our dreams.
[04:45.45]A space, now sad, speaks madness,
[04:48.63]attempts concealing the crumbling walls.
[04:54.54]It feels like our time is getting short.
[04:57.42]And it's too late cause all the paint is lying on the floor.
[05:02.79]Did we selfishly erase it?
[05:03.69](And we have all ignored the fault.)
[05:05.31]Busy filling mirrors with our damn faces?
[05:06.30]Circling flaws that we find without respite,
[05:10.32]what do we find?
[05:11.28]What do we find?
[05:12.63]And in the meantime, all the vultures circle us in hopes to feed.
[05:17.67]Because they don't see the difference between,
[05:19.53]Death disguised as life,
[05:21.12]and life with lifeless eyes.
[05:22.11](Doll it up!) All the ones still close to us,
[05:27.93]are the ones that most of us,
[05:28.50]still don't see, the way.
[05:31.53](I would of thought)
[05:32.19]I would have thought that it could be,
[05:32.91]the sympathetic solution, disillusion.
[05:40.83](Because we all fall apart, Now we all fall apart)
[05:44.34]The open mouths close!!
