Connector Lyrics & Chords By 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!!
