Faultline

I'm on a lifeboat waving at the ship as it's sinking
and a flare's being dimmed by the fog
I had a hard time trying to understand what she's thinking
but it's just another puzzle to solve
And I can't speed up I'm up against the governor
and I can't seem to focus or fade
And there's a riptide pulling so hard but I know
I can't afford to get carried away, it's like

Straddling a fault line
And the fault is all mine
I got one foot in and one out of the grave

I can feel this bridge crumbling beneath my wheels
as I'm almost to the other side
It sways and moans like a shaking skyscraper
and it's gonna be a hell of a ride
As I walk by there's a girl in the window
dancing 'round and spinning flames
I turn my head to a mime all in white
and he's showing me who I should blame, it's like

Straddling a fault line
And the fault is all mine
I got one foot in and one out of the grave

I've been feeling not worth a continental
am I just another cog in the wheel
Would you have my head on a plate made of silver
just to gain some commercial appeal
I can't say no and I can't say yes
but I can't seem to turn it away
And I find myself lying square in the middle
of an unfortunate bed I made, it's like

Straddling a fault line
And the fault is all mine
I got one foot in and one out of the grave
