The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We are hollow bodies pressed against a brittle door

guilty of breaking faith we once were fighting for

we wish we could go back

and we wish that we were numb

the breath is thick when we're on both sides of the gun

bending light on broken beams

ghosts and celebrities

it can't be victory

when our lives have turned to black

so celebrate around the breakdown

and what we are is what we've done

collapse, collapse, collapse!

ruby red lips, a dashing disguise

collapse, collapse, collapse!

with nothing left to hide

shallow and meaningless with gold smoke in our eyes

an accident that's spent on nights without the lights

so shake, shake the horror

and the sin we feel inside

as we give in to temptation

and it makes us feel alive

bending light on broken beams

ghosts and celebrities

it can't be victory

when our lives have turned to black

so celebrate around the breakdown

and what we are is what we've done

collapse, collapse, collapse!

ruby red lips, a dashing disguise

collapse, collapse, collapse!

with nothing left to hide

and all the thieves we are

and all the thieves we are
