Shaking Of The Frame

Well, I might have to diffuse this one
Call the listeners but they don't speak the same tongue
Send me away. You laugh and scoff and spit out false intellect
Guess I'll let you have your way this once for the greater goal of us
Sometimes it's better to let them win to escape the mess
Just let it go, you already know my faith now is swayed
Can trust be remade?
This silent fight is worse than a scuffle
The same violent night and we both share the struggle
Amiss, dismissed
You might be right so take your own advice, just let it go, you already know
Don't write about love, no more cliches!
No more delays. Glass-wristed grasp of my surroundings and dizzily shuffling forward;
That's where I'm found, pulled to the sky from the ground and spun round
In an aerial court of my peers and stripped down to only skin, bones and tears
And the ever-chugging monolith, my inner voice, is inviting me to stay here for years
I'm wired weird, I've grown wrong
And sing the same damn songs to the ever-nodding audience, until my body is gone
Quiet your open thoughts and turn the other way to make grimacing actions
And if it's not possible, okay. Just stay that way
Just let it go, you already know my faith now is swayed
Can trust be remade? This silent fight is worse than a scuffle
The same violent night and we both share the struggle
Amiss, dismissed
You might be right so take your own advice
Just let it go, you already know
Like frantically rifling through all of your keys
There's no wind behind you but something's moving the leaves
This place is familiar
You used to call it your own
Now there's nobody home
No, there's nobody home
Once a room is empty it has no need for a name
Or title and when a glass is empty someone fills it up or puts it away
But when the glass broke, the room spoke in dangerous tones
If it's broken just leave it alone!
We have to go! We have to go!
Let the passenger take hold, let the stranger drive you home
We have to go! We have to go!
May this song fill up a hole
May the room with no purpose forever be closed
Although we left in a panic
I took a look back at the house
Saw it turn on its axis and vanish
The dust enveloped the sky, the splinters fell to the earth
Swam deep in the soil and came back to life
It survived! It survived! It survived
