You said that you could face the music,
Well I have some news for you,
This tape stopped playing a while back,
So flip it over and rewind,
Turn a deaf ear to every sound,
Except the sound of you & I,
Screaming our lungs out under water.

This is only the chorus,
Of a disaster waiting to happen,
But until the hour hand hits 12,
Come on my love, my lovely catastrophe,
I want to hear you sing.

This song was written for a former love,
The notes that I play will destroy myself,
I'm never going to erase this tune,
It will never leave my body,
It's tattooed in my brain,
It's scarred in my veins.

And I'm sinking into the air,
Swimming through the rainclouds,
Flying through onyx waters,
Floating in the sea.

But maybe it's just me and my demented ways.
