See the Flames Begin to Crawl
Its been a long time...
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
I've got pocketfuls of crumpled receipts
Just about enough to start a fire
I'll watch the past just burn away
Put the mic stand through the amplifier
Put the bass down, bass down, one time
Snap the neck now. Drum set, smash it
Kick the kick drum, one time, kicked in
Smashed up, break it, break up
See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
I've got notebooks full of misshapen words
I'll never speak them anymore
Ten years from now, you won't know my name
Throw the microphone down on the floor
Put the guitar, guitar, one time
Through the speaker, splintered, broken
Throw the horns down, one time, horns down
Smash them, break them, break up
See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard
Hear the record start to skip, unsung
Feel the weight that sunk the ship, so young
The crowds recoil, demand our survival
Fists in the air, mouths caked with saliva
But you are the one, the spark that was spawned
Who picks up the pieces, and passes it on
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
I've got pocketfuls of crumpled receipts
Just about enough to start a fire
I'll watch the past just burn away
Put the mic stand through the amplifier
Put the bass down, bass down, one time
Snap the neck now. Drum set, smash it
Kick the kick drum, one time, kicked in
Smashed up, break it, break up
See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
Cancellation! Devastation! Deviation! Expiration!
I've got notebooks full of misshapen words
I'll never speak them anymore
Ten years from now, you won't know my name
Throw the microphone down on the floor
Put the guitar, guitar, one time
Through the speaker, splintered, broken
Throw the horns down, one time, horns down
Smash them, break them, break up
See the flames begin to crawl, upward
Taste the anguish as they fall, unheard
Hear the record start to skip, unsung
Feel the weight that sunk the ship, so young
The crowds recoil, demand our survival
Fists in the air, mouths caked with saliva
But you are the one, the spark that was spawned
Who picks up the pieces, and passes it on
