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!
