Oh, we lost the melody
Is our energy
Just wasting on the coals?

What is this illness that has stricken me?
A battery
Of days that come and go

There's always a part of us that, quietly
Is vanishing
How I love to see me go

They're coming with brick and knives
A scattering
Watch everything
Come running from their holes
Oh

Oh, we lost the melody
Is our energy
Just wasting on the coals?

And what is this sickness that has stricken me?
A malady
Of thoughts that come and go

There's always a part of us that, quietly
Is vanishing
How I love to see me go

We traded in rumors, lies and apathy
A fantasy
For the places we won't know

All of us
All of us
All of us
All of us

All of us
All of us
All of us
All of us

Are gone
And there's the city up
Red with heat of livin'

Are you beat?
And have we had enough?
There's a wave that moves through everyone

All of us have cut ourselves in two
What a mess
(Don't you know me best?)
(Don't you know me best?)
