Ballroom Disaster

And I can feel it in every inch of my bones
The riot's started the parade is over now
We must prepare for the fallout of this movement
The end of an era
Duck and cover 'cause the bottle's are flyin'
The show's over and the curtain is coming down
We're held accountable for this slutty massacre
This ballroom disaster
When it's done and this phenomenon has bled
And you've fought failure to fit in
Will you know
We're moving parts on this monstrous invention
Ticking gears on the clock to a bomb
Save the guilt for the fucking designers
Who ordered us just to usher it along
Sitting quietly never was easy
To hold my tongue was a miracle of god
What did you expect from me when
I was encouraged by every one of you all along
When it's done and this phenomenon has bled
And you've fought failure to fit in
Will you know
Will you learn
You were worthless from the start
A social paradox at heart
But still you'll sing
We won't let this happen again
When it's done and this phenomenon has bled
And you've fought failure to fit in
Will you know
Will you learn
You were worthless from the start
A social paradox at heart
But still you'll sing
We won't let this happen again
But we'll still sing

It's not in the air no that's just a feeling
Yeah it's in the blood and we can't stop the beatings
You can't blame the gods when we are the demons
We're moving to keep some space in between us
Just to live another day
Here we stand
We're back out on the ground
We'll fight the minute the minute we are found
Well I've got what it takes to know
We're good as dead
Nothing has changed since the day that they came
I sleep in the nude it's all just the same
We've only been here for a blink of an eye
And if we want it to go back to normal we would have to die
Here we stand
We're back out on the ground
We'll fight the minute the minute we are found
Well I've got what it takes to know
We're good as dead
Be thankful for everything
For soon there will be nothing
Nothing
Here we stand

Let's play out this serenade
You'll take the sky and I'll assume the ocean
We'll sing it till we reach the end
Then reverse and take it from the start again
I could have drowned without this
But once you know
And we know we'll carry on
You gave it all away now
Grow something new
And pray those wings will carry you
Goading answers from the shades that line these halls
Indifferent eyes will never teach you the same way
They're running fingers
Crooked fingers down your spine
until you find
that what you've feared has been your life
I could have drowned without this
But once you know
And we know we'll carry on
You gave it all away now
Grow something new
And pray those wings will carry you
On a wing and a prayer
I'll watch you drown
Just follow these footsteps
Right to this hollow crown
I could have drowned without this
But once you know
And we know we'll carry on
You gave it all away now
Grow something new
And pray those wings will carry you
Carry you

Oh yeah,it began, with just a drop of blood
Or maybe it was with some kind of sick forbidden love
There's no warning
We could never have guessed there's be hell to pay
For these indulgences of mine
Open up, your heart to the dagger
You life is ruined just 'cause of ol' fucking beggar
It's a summons
For explorers in the regions of experience
They'll tear your soul apart
Pushing
At
The boundaries of the
Envelope
At the gates of hell
Is where you'll fine yourself
Oh yeah,it began, with just a drop of blood
Or maybe it was with some kind of sick forbidden love
There's no warning
We could never have guessed there's be hell to pay
For these indulgences of mine
Open up, your heart to the dagger
You life is ruined just 'cause of ol' fucking beggar
It's a summons
For explorers in the regions of experience
They'll tear your soul apart
Oh
What'd you think
That you would find inside
And oh
My friend you're just so lucky to be alive at all
Pushing
At
The boundaries of the
Envelope
At the gates of hell
Is where you'll fine yourself
Oh
What'd you think
That you would find inside
You're mine

There's no one here to save you now
You're all alone
I think we all know how
This will end for both of you
You can never stop the truth
Here you come, knockin' on the front door
You're exactly what I've been lookin' for
But you've got no idea what's in store for you
Say nothing and say it all
Your desperation is share by the whole
There is nothing to make this right
But still we cling to life
The two of you are a perfect match
There's no use in trying to claw and scratch
Now I've got to go find another third for you
Not separation
This time creation
There won't be any mistakes on this time around
Say nothing and say it all
Your desperation is share by the whole
There is nothing to make this right
But still we cling to life
It's not giving up, it's giving in
Without a bit of remorse
I'll leave you here
Just hold her hand
As she dies in the rear
Say nothing and say it all
Your desperation is share by the whole
There is nothing to make this right
But still we cling to life
