Connector - Lyrics - A Lot Like Birds

[00:00.53]Go through solid stages not noticing me. [00:51.19]Hands hold tightly. [00:56.20]No one shares. [01:00.16]Doll it up! [01:02.11]At the rate the paint is peeling off the wall, [01:03.30]We'll need to cover it! [01:05.87]Before it all falls apart! [01:09.42]Oh, it'll all fall apart. [01:11.16]Truss it up! [01:13.11]At the rate the skin is sloughing off our bones, [01:14.73]They'll need to bury us. [01:18.16]Because we all fall apart. [01:20.41]Yeah, we all fall apart. [01:22.81]The open mouths of these rooms are connected by a hallway, [01:25.79]Dark and narrow, that we pass through like marrow through bone. [01:30.80]And we do it alone. [01:34.08]I miss the point and wish I still didn't dream. [01:40.01]A taste gone mad, a sweet sadness, my favorite feeling. [01:46.17]The whispering walls sound like an endless corridor and at this rate, [01:53.22]All the paint is peeling off the walls. [01:57.34]And all I want to do is chase it [01:58.47](Before it all falls apart) [01:59.66]Down the hall made out of frozen faces. [02:02.56]Expressionless, eyes to the ground and lips locked tight, ever so quiet, ever so quiet. [02:07.32]And I never choose to taste hallucinations of what I've seen. [02:11.88]Because I don't see the difference between chasing ghosts in dreams and chasing dreams in life. [02:22.29]Doll it up! [02:24.32]All the ones still close to us are the ones that most of us still don't see. [02:28.47]Still don't see the way. [02:31.44]I would have thought that it could be the sympathetic solution, disillusion. [02:39.57]And if I stayed or left would you notice more or less of my existence? [02:45.65]Out of the corner of my eye, I see the ghost stutter-stepping like strobe lights, [02:50.43]Ever-inching closer, but always out of reach. [02:54.22]So I hold my breath and keep it under my tongue and wait until both of my lungs are filled. [03:02.34]If I count to ten, will it all go away? [03:12.73]Brushed aside or pushed aside: [03:14.57]A difference in tension, intention and force applied. [03:20.63]Cast aside or passing by people as canvases: [03:24.02]Blank outside and bleak inside. [03:27.77]We learned [03:28.54](And it caused other things asunder) [03:31.99]To stay [03:33.36](And avoiding all the turmoil) [03:36.39]Out of the way of each other. [03:42.12]Just stay out of the way! [03:54.43]Always colliding with the things that we had tried hard to avoid we just bury them, [04:00.21]Close our eyes, cover it up. [04:01.29]But what was buried managed to unlock the door even though we had boarded them, [04:09.12]Nailed them shut, hid the keys. [04:11.04]Will we [04:12.37](In for it now) [04:13.59]Ever [04:14.78](Board up the house) [04:15.11]Find happiness, clarity, peace of mind? [04:19.77]Follow me down the hallway. [04:21.75]If I should take a fall, don't look back. [04:25.27]Pick a door. Any door. Any door! [04:28.20]NOW! [04:29.83] [04:39.80]And now we sit in what was built on our dreams. [04:45.77]A space, now sad, speaks madness, attempts concealing the crumbling walls. [04:54.31]It feels like our time is getting short. [04:57.37]And it's too late cause all the paint is lying on the floor. [05:03.14]Did we selfishly erase it? [05:05.20](And we have all ignored the fault.) [05:05.76]Busy filling mirrors with our damn faces? [05:08.07]Circling flaws that we find without respite, [05:10.60]What do we find? What do we find? [05:13.06]And in the meantime, all the vultures circle us in hopes to feed. [05:17.19]Because they don't see the difference between death disguised as life and life with lifeless eyes. [05:22.77]Doll it up! [05:24.42]All the ones still close to us are the ones that most of us still don't see, the way. [05:31.71]I would have thought that it could be the sympathetic solution, disillusion. [05:45.58]The open mouths close!!
