Schizophrenia

And now the shades are drawn

This dark infesting shadows cross the hall and now they're gone

I see this old arcade

And rain comes down the gutters to the wood this liquid dawn

So my heart races now

These palpitations bust the seams off my laced sequin dress

I see you standing there

With rosy fingers, damn this life a godless existence

This schizophrenia is taking over me

And we don't need this now do we!

It never was like this

But still I could not be trusted with your love no not once

We danced the meringue

Those golden footsteps signs of our fate in redundancy

But now the past is gone

And now I'm messed up beyond any thought or small belief

This fate is choking me

Like icy water from the depths of that barrier reef

This schizophrenia is taking over me

And we don't need this now do we!

This schizophrenia is taking over me

And we don't need this now do we!

Talk to the light, you'll be colored so bright

Behind the wheel, they stalk over the drill sirens

Open your mouth behind shades of…

Waking in fire and dreaming in…

Holding the night behind straight corn and papyrus

Holding by luscious…

Stares that you gave us

Waiting for strength behind locks in the fire

Wait for the love that you said would inspire

Wait for the times that you

Said you would cherish

Wait for the love that you

Said that would make it!

This schizophrenia is taking over me

And we don't need this now do we!

This schizophrenia is taking over me

And we don't need this now do we!
