Lyrics

[Intro: Kurt Travis] Go through solid stages, not noticing me Hands hold tightly, no one shares Go through solid stages, not noticing me (Oh, the whispering walls) Hands hold tightly, no one shares [Chorus: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] (Doll it up) At the rate, the paint is peeling off the walls We'll need to cover it (Cover it) Before it all falls apart Oh, it'll all fall apart (Truss it up) At the rate, the skin is sloughing off our bones They'll need to bury us (Bury us) Because we all fall apart Yeah, we all fall apart [Post-Chorus: Cory Lockwood] The open mouths of these rooms are connected By a hallway, dark and narrow That we pass through like marrow through bone And we do it alone [Verse 1: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] I miss the point and wish I still didn't dream A taste gone mad, a sweet sadness, my favorite feeling The whispering walls sound like an endless corridor And at this rate, all the paint is peeling off the walls And all I want to do is chase it (Before it all falls apart) Down the hall, made out of frozen faces Expressionless, eyes to the ground and lips locked tight Ever so quiet, ever so quiet And I never choose to taste hallucinations of what I've seen 'Cause I don't see the difference between chasing ghosts in dreams And chasing dreams in life [Chorus: Kurt Travis] (Doll it up) All the ones still close to us Are the ones that most of us still don't see the way I would have thought that it could be the sympathetic (Oh) Solution, disillusion And if I stayed or left, would you notice more or less Of my existence? [Post-Chorus: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood, Cory Lockwood] Out of the corner of my eye I see the ghost stutter-stepping like strobe lights Ever inching closer, but always out of reach So, I hold my breath and keep it under my tongue And wait until both of my lungs are filled If I count to ten, will it all go away? [Bridge: Cory Lockwood & Kurt Travis] Brushed aside or pushed aside? A difference in tension Intention and force applied Cast aside or passing by People as canvases: blank outside and bleak inside We learned (And it caused other things asunder) To stay (And avoiding all the turmoil) Out of the way of each other Just stay out of the way [Verse 2: Kurt Travis, Cory Lockwood, Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] Always colliding with the things that we had tried hard to avoid We just bury them, closed our eyes, cover it up But what was buried managed to unlock the door Even though we had Boarded them, nailed them shut, hid the key Will we (In for it now) ever (Board up the house) find Happiness? Clarity? Peace of mind? Follow me down the hallway If I should take a fall, don't look back Pick a door, any door, any door, now [Breakdown: Cory Lockwood] 'Cause we all fall apart Yeah, we all fall apart [Verse 3: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] And now we sit in what was built on our dreams A space, now sad, speaks madness, attempts concealing The crumbling walls It feels like our time is getting short And it's too late 'cause all the paint is lying on the floor Did we selfishly erase it? (And we have all ignored the fault) Busy filling mirrors with our damn faces? Circling flaws that we find without respite What do we find? What do we find? And in the meantime, all the vultures circle us in hopes to feed 'Cause they don't see the difference between Death disguised as life and life with lifeless eyes [Chorus: Kurt Travis & Cory Lockwood] (Doll it up) All the ones still close to us Are the ones that most of us still don't see the way (Before it all falls apart) I would have thought that it could be the sympathetic (Oh) Solution, disillusion Because we all fall apart Yeah, we all fall apart The open mouths close
