How It Happened Lyrics & Chords By Decomposure

Who knows how it happened?
retracing it, it’s clear the end was seeded from the start
unnatural disasters
the weight grew as it promised forever,
then it fell apart
The lapse of your teamwork is
bread in water lined in black, a tensionhardened glare
it did not breach the surface
spreading underneath, a cancer choking out the air
between no, now and later -
every collapse cuts into the urge to walk
against the shrouded faces
each beaming blank sansserif on a yellow box
I can’t handle the truth
i thought i could, but
i couldn’t make it through
I couldn’t drive all of 2009
because my license expired and i had to start over to reapply
when i go out at night, i look toward the northern sky
all the while a camera follows me everywhere
and i can never leave it behind,
try as i might
I know they’re right
it was good while it lasted
the light burns out of their eyes
and i know how it happened
