North of the Brigade, South of the Stuntrope

I watched it all fall apart Burning with images I watched it all fall apart Burning with images You tell me that you're useless That's why I said so You tell me that you're useless It was our heart, same life, lies I try sometimes It was lost There are no more perfect moments Your bridges, you burn with wings of detachment When did I stop breathing Your eyes, bright stars When did I lose sight of myself I'll pick up the pieces This silent love I fear is crashing down around us This silent love I fear is crashing down around us Flowers will not masquerade your lies Because I heard your secret Though you tried your best to play it Close to the chest And as the charade comes close into view It seems that I I was your payoff, yet again But if I, if I had my way I'd break you into a million pieces Spreading you across the floor In the final moments of this charade I wish to be more than what has become of me Become of me In the final marches of this parade In this eclipse, no one will see No one will see I'll sign my farewell with this swollen tongue I'll sign my farewell with this swollen tongue I'll sign my farewell with this swollen tongue's ghost I'll sing my farewell with this swollen tongue's ghost
